Hm, I cannot reproduce this. I have the package installed, and currently
it's not an option to remove it, but I tried with KPATHSEA_DEBUG=126,
and it does not search for pzdr.mf; I'm using a newer version, though.

Hm, looking in hpdftex.def I find:

\def\@Form[#1]{%
  \@ifundefined{textcolor}{\let\textcolor\@gobble}{}%
  \setkeys{Form}{#1}%
  \ifnum\pdftexversion>13
    \pdfrefobj\OBJ@pdfdocencoding
    \pdfrefobj\OBJ@ZaDb
    \pdfrefobj\OBJ@Helv
    \pdfrefobj\OBJ@acroform
  \fi
  \pdfcatalog{/AcroForm \OBJ@acroform\space 0 R}%
  \MakeFieldObject{%
    \begingroup
      \fontfamily{pzd}%
      \fontencoding{U}%
      \fontseries{m}%
      \fontshape{n}%
      \selectfont
      \char123 %
    \endgroup
  }{Ding}%
  \MakeFieldObject{\fbox{\textcolor{yellow}{\textsf{Submit}}}}{Submit}%
  \MakeFieldObject{\fbox{\textcolor{yellow}{\textsf{SubmitP}}}}{SubmitP}%
}

but I don't see a reason why this should be expanded and "executed".  It
should only need the font if the document actually uses Forms.  

Could it be that you have modified some files?  Please send the complete
logfile test.log,
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/hyperref/hpdftex.def, and
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdflatex.log. 

Regards, Frank
