Sorry to have taken so long to look at this (actually I did some work on the
subject in the background but didn't trace it in bugzilla).

I've talked briefly with the Perizia author on irc recently. He's set up a new
web site, http://hiran.in/ and tried to do a proper sfd+ttf release for his new
font, Rufscript. He was intending to clean up Perizia too in the next weeks.

Please contact him and coordinate to make sure that what he ends up publishing
is something you can build a great package from:
— have him publish the sfd sources so you can rebuild with our fontforge
  (cf inconsolata fonts package)
— have him publish a detached license file that can be put in %doc
— have him wrap it all in a versioned archive

Apart from this, some review of your current submission
— you've killed a 0 in the datetime stamp. Don't do that, you need the full
20080803 stamp if you don't want problems during upgrades (alternatively if you
can convince Hiran to use clean versioning in the font metadata you can use it
instead of dates)
— are you sure you want to register perizia in fontconfig as sans-serif and not
fantasy? (the fantasy generic is available on recent fontconfig versions)

Anyway your spec is clean and readable, and the font source is clear so I'll
have no problems approving it all once those points are taken care of.
