The proper way is to file a removal request against ftp.debian.org.
"reportbug ftp.debian.org" shows you the options. A removal request
should be sent by the package maintainer, but this probably doesn't
apply here since every DM is QA, and as texmacs maintainer you are
obvioulsy qualified to make this request.
It is probably better to wait until science-typesetting is fixed. If
you also think that texmacs-extra-fonts should not be distributed with
wheezy then the release team also has to unblock science-typesetting.
