Follow-up Comment #14, bug #67544 (group groff): Comment #9 promised two proposals but delivered only the first. That one was a flop, but I have high hopes for the sequel, even though it turns out to be less straightforward than I had anticipated.
[comment #5 comment #5:]

This is great news: it means the relevant kernpairs can be copied from the
devpdf/U-* files into their respective devps/* files. This will improve
typography in myriad ways, not just the one that was fixed as a one-off in
commit 280724f9d.
A stumbling block is that the devpdf/U-* files don't actually live in the
groff tree; they're populated at build time. (As I understand it. There's
was a long thread about this on the email list a couple months ago, but most
of it was over my head.)
Nonetheless, the data exists and could be imported into the relevant devps
files. Are there objections / downsides I haven't thought of?
