I don't think game packages want to deal with maintaining private copies
of fonts (which are updated upstream monthly, need to be built from
source of we want to respect our own aims, etc).
I didn't ask Hans to add these file deps but I totally agree with his
reasoning.
If the number of packages that have filedeps on font files is big enough
to bother you, just add /usr/share/fonts to the roots which filedeps are
not in separate metadata files. That's the correct non-hackish answer.
