Freeform review additions:

- please also use -m 0755 at directory install time
- it would be nice if the metadata declaration order followed the official
Fedora template
- please add a FAQ or at least the contact in charge of liberation fonts as the
referenced site has limited info and no contact information. In particular
everyone involved in FLOSS fonts would like to know the rationale behind GPL
choice when the painfully achieved consensus was to go OFL for all projects
- please drop a fontconfig configuration file in /etc/fonts/conf.d/ containing
at least the "assign generic names" bit of the dejavu-lgc one. After distussion
on IRC with behdad the right prio is probably between dejavu-lgc and other fonts
(595 unless dejavu-lgc moves to 58)
- relying on /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-aliases-fedora.conf means Conflicting with
fontconfig packages that do not include liberation info (major PITA). Consider
working with behdad to split this file in font-specific ones
(/etc/fonts/conf.d/30-001-fedora-helvetica-alias-liberation.conf,
/etc/fonts/conf.d/30-002-fedora-helvetica-alias-nimbus.conf etc) so next time a
new font package can just drop his own file there instead of relying on a
fontconfig update
