MIR exception - font packages

Given that fonts are just data, there’s no way for them to trip any of the problems that would cause us to not want to support them. Therefore not all of the process have to be followed for these.

Unfortunately there were cases where src:font-* packages contained way more than just a font – due to that, either the MIR team (if an MIR bug was filed) or the Ubuntu-Archive team (on promoting it) has to do a spot check that neither the source nor the created binary packages violate these assumptions.

The only limitation is that the package needs a valid team subscriber before being promoted by an Archive Admin – just in case anything might come up later. The MIR team should try to clarify that with the team that owns the depending package to own the font as well (read: without the overhead of a full MIR process).
