  Description     : Specialized OTF variants of Pretendard font (Gov, JP, Std)

The core 'fonts-pretendard' package is already available in the
official Debian archive, but it completely lacks the specialized
official subsets/families.

This new 'fonts-pretendard-extra' source package fills this gap by
introducing the missing OTF variants as separate binary packages. They
are currently the only available packages for these variants on
Launchpad/Debian ecosystem:
 - fonts-pretendard-gov (Government/Public service UI standard subset)
 - fonts-pretendard-jp (Japanese/Hanja-optimized subset)
 - fonts-pretendard-std (Standard optimized subset)

I have successfully built, packaged, and hosted these OTF packages on
my Launchpad PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~kms0219kms/+archive/ubuntu/fonts

I am looking for a Debian Sponsor to review and upload this package
into the official archive.

Best wishes,
Minsu Kim

There was a minor typo in my previous proposal.

The package names uploaded to Launchpad are
`fonts-pretendard-gov-otf`, `fonts-pretendard-jp-otf`, and
`fonts-pretendard-std-otf`.
The packages without the `-otf` suffix are in TrueType format rather
than OpenType, which is being addressed in a separate bug report
(#1151883).

Thank you for your understanding.

As you have pointed out, the upstream source is already in the
fonts-pretendard source package.

Please make the package build your newly requested binary package
instead of creating a new source package.

Thank you for the guidance and for reassigning the bug.

I completely agree with your approach. Integrating all the variants
(TTF structure and specialized subsets like Gov, JP, Std) into the
single existing 'fonts-pretendard' source package is a much cleaner
way to maintain the archive.

I will update my packaging files to generate multiple binary packages
(both OTF and TTF variants) from the single 'fonts-pretendard' source
package.

Once I update the debian/control, rules, and install configurations to
build all the requested binary packages smoothly, I will share the
updated source package / salsa merge request for your review.

Best wishes,
Minsu Kim
