I don't really know where the discussion is now that FPC has started working on
it either :( I hope spot does something with all the info I CC him)

I guess we could do something like

srpm
cm-lgc-fonts

rpm
cm-lgc-fonts-common (directory ownership, licensing files and other doc)
cm-lgc-fontname1-font
cm-lgc-fontname2-font
...
cm-lgc-fontnameX-font
cm-lgc-tex (TEX parts)

srpm
gfs-olga-fonts

rpm
gfs-olga-font

srpm
dejavu-fonts

rpm
dejavu-fonts-common
dejavu-sans-font
dejavu-serif-font
dejavu-sans-mono-font

srpm
openoffice.org

rpm
openoffice.org-opensymbol-font
(and openoffice.org-name2-font + openoffice.org-fonts common if it ever grows
another font)

It is more æsthetically pleasing, but implies many packages where rpmname !=
srpm-name-foo. Though the variation is small enough that users could probably
not notice. However that may make it a bit harder to document in guidelines

Also that sort of breaks if you have a srpm named foo-fonts and a srpm named
foo in the repo (don't think that's the case right now, may happen)
