That's a real mess.

I'm generally in favour, but ...
[...]
1. any package that makes use of fonts in a modern format like OpenType TT
   (TTF) or OpenType CFF (OTF) MUST have them packaged separately
[...]

... what about fonts in other formats which happen to be included in a given
package? I don't have any specific examples, just asking.
