Thanks for the update.

We really lack guidelines to help us in this case.  Our fonts-* 
packages usually just use the generic Western name for the language
(ie typically derived from the country name).
Eg in current Fedora Core we have fonts-* packages for:

arabic bengali chinese gujarati hebrew hindi japanese kannada korean malayalam
oriya punjabi sinhala tamil telugu

But note that fonts-bengali is also used for Assamese, and fonts-hindi for
Marathi, so there are some precedents for using say just fonts-tibetan
to name the package.  If I remember correctly the Tibetan population is rather
larger than that of Dzongkha and Ladakhi speakers.

Personally I prefer fonts-tibetan-script to fonts-tibetan-dzongkha.
Another approach could be to put Tibetan Machine Uni in fonts-tibetan
and Jomolhari in fonts-dzongkha (or maybe better fonts-bhutanese?).
I still rather like fonts-tibetan, and remember normal users
should not need to worry about the name of the fonts package,
they would just use pirut to "yum groupinstall bhutanese-support" etc
to get the appropriate font, input method and language packs, etc.
