Well, in that case it maybe shouldn't even be a separate package.
Of course, it's reasonable to split them into two packages because
the ec-fonts are not likely to change very often and including them
in lilypond would increase the size significantly. Still, I don't see
what problem you solve by adding ec-font related installation issues
to the installation scripts of lilypond.
