A bit odd indeed, but okay, I think. I would either go with "font-un" and put
everything into it (or keep just the core part and drop the extra part, as you
wish), or "font-un-core" and "font-un-extra" (in two packages, for instance).

I do not know how their files are organised. Are they just tarballs? Do the
tarballs have absolute path names (to "/usr" or such)? I think the hosting
options of the tarball you proposed are fine. Maybe also give the location
of the mime-faulty original in a comment (I think Ludovic suggested that),
so if the mirror disappears, we can still find the source somewhere.
