Hi all,
Thank you so much for your input. I have reviewed the aspects previously mentioned, and the updated version of the debian/copyright file is now available at the following link:   https://paste.debian.net/1362476/

This new version has been modified to remove incompatible fonts  and group all remaining fonts by license type.

Additionally, Soren Stoutner pointed out an important detail regarding OFL-licensed fonts that have a Reserved Font Name (RFN). My question is:  
- Is it necessary to explicitly mention each font's Reserved Font Name in the OFL license section, or is a general mention of RFNs sufficient?  

Lastly, I would appreciate further assistance regarding the following guideline:  
> Build the font from source using tools from Debian main during the package build but distribute the upstream build in the binary package instead. In this case, it is not required to move the font to contrib. 

Any clarification on this point would be greatly appreciated.  

Thank you for your time and help!  

Best regards,  
Raúl G
