You assume wrong. It all depends on the contents of the files lang2range.
What you put in there is at your free will.

I mostly favor having a dh_stripfont deb helper which should be used
by udebs' make rule.
dh_stripfont should use some ranges which should be controlled by us
(d-i team); these ranges should NOT be (IMO) daily snapshots, but
ranges that contain all the codepoints that were ever present in
translations at some point (we should also remove the ones that have
appeared accidentaly - by request).

I agree, that's why I suggested having a dh_stripfont deb helper script.
