Figlet 2.2.5 has just been released with the following changelog [1].
I am updating my unreleased 2.2.4-1 packaging, and hope to have a
2.2.5-1 package (suitable for main) available over the weekend.
The updated ISO8859 files are now properly licensed and appear (at first
glance) to be compatible with 2.2.2-1, so I'm confident that a
distributable (albeit still non-free) version of figlet 2.2.2 can be
prepared for squeeze.
