I have just seen to that package and uploaded a slightly modified  
version to ftp.upload.debian.org [1].

The Vcs logs here on my local working copy are these:

   o upload to unstable (debian/3.0.2-1)
   o add upstream name to copyright: Font Awesome, rename source package
     with the pattern used by other fonts-* packages
   o fix lintian issue: W: font-awesome source:
     package-needs-versioned-debhelper-build-depends 8
   o add myself and the friendica maintenance team to the Uploaders: field

I have just set up the pkg-friendica team on Alioth. I have also  
created a mailing list for that team:  
pkg-friendica-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org. Please subscribe to that  
list.

I have applied for rw access to the pkg-fonts team name space on  
git.debian.org. Once it has been granted, I will push my local changes.

Greets,
Mike
