Description of the change

I think in the debian/rules you are trying to get around the font licensing by removing it before building the binary package. While this means the binary package is "Debian Free Software" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_Free_Software_Guidelines), the source package is not because the font is still distributed in the orig tarball.

If you need to get around the font licensing, you will need to create a modified tarball. This branch ensures that the tarball created by "debian/rules get-packaged-orig-source" will create a suitably modified tarball without the DFSG-incompatible fonts.

Also in this branch, the get-orig-source rule has been renamed to get-packaged-orig-source. get-orig-source is supposed to get the latest upstream sources, while get-packaged-orig-source is supposed to the get source code pertaining to the current version specified in debian/changelog. With this change, you can:

$ bzr branch lp:~libavg-team/magictouch/packaging
$ bzr build-deb

The second step will automatically run get-packaged-orig-source to get the tarball for you :).
