The debian/copyright file does not very specifically document the package. Please fix it in general. I have found this to be lacking documentation for the files in Fonts directory, some of which I know to be DFSG-free. Most prominently, monoMMM_5.ttf is probably not under a free license. Other non-free candidates are 7-Segment.ttf, LED-8.ttf, and LED-16.ttf.
I do not know about the debian package specific parts, but any issues regarding the core FGData package should be raised upstream at https://gitlab.com/flightgear/fgdata. Otherwise things get messy fast if changes get made only here, and they will not benefit the whole community which debian apt users are only a very small minority of. There is a very low chance that the people who can resolve this will be looking at debian apt issues. I just stumbled across this by chance looking for something unrelated.
Hi Rhys, It is up to the package maintainers and one of their specific tasks to decide whether to forward an issue to upstream. I have just found that you have documented the monoMMM_5.ttf to be licensed under GPL (version not specified) at https://gitlab.com/flightgear/fgdata/-/commit/436f67105a9e2ae450a395ca01ccea0c9049fb5a This part of the issue is a Debian-only one (document it properly in the copyright file). For the other mentioned files I have just created an upstream issue. Thanks, Bastian
