Whether you use build() or package() isn't terribly important. build() 
is for compiling and such and package() is for placing the files in the 
right locations. Since you only do the latter, package() is the most 
appropriate choice.

You should use "install" instead of mkdir and cp. With "install" you can 
set the permissions, create all the necessary folders and copy the 
files, all in one command (well, one for the fonts, one for the 
license). It comes with a manual. :P
