So, you made many (long overdue, IMHO) changes.  Given that this is
still an NMU I'll stop my review to the debdiff from the version
currently in the archive.

* please let's upload this to experimental.  If anything to check it
  actually builds everywhere…  We can upload a -0.2 to unstable few days
  after it lands to experimental
* the version on the gettext build-dep can go away
* why did you remove the alternative dependency 'libc6-dev | libc-dev'?
  the changelog doesn't mention this change, and it doesn't look so
  correct to me; if somebody took the time to explicit a dependency on
  libc-dev there is probably a good reason…  (same for libz-dev)
* freetype2-demos lost its ${shlibs:Depends}?   (also undocumented)
  - and indeed it seems the built package has no dependencies.
* you moved away from dh_installdocs --link-doc.  I personally like it,
  because it can be source of many pitfalls, like this case: moving from
  symlinks to directories requires using dpkg-maintscript-helper's
  symlink-to-dir...  however I'm conflicted on whether this is a change
  you should do in a NMU (but then, considering the already huge
  changelog…).
* /usr/bin/freetype-config is not a thing anymore, are rdeps fine?
  Also, this something I'd mention in the changelog as well.

Thank you for the really thorough update, forwarding years-old patches
upstream, etc, very nice! :)
