Yup but as can be seen in the output I pasted, there's a pattern in
d/copyright's Files-Excluded which doesn't match anymore.
(Exactly the cmap files which appear again in d/rules).

I think this can all be dropped, if the package builds without it.
Back then, the upstream tarball shipped some non-free files which we
stripped but since they were needed during the build we copied
equivalents around from other packages.

If this sounds a bit vague it might be because, according to the git
history, this started in 2007 :)

Sounds good, thanks.
