Mainly the fact that the upstream lacks any comprehensive test suite, and
each new release brings new and different reports of font breakage in
Debian.

The package there claims in the changelog:
* Now make it "multiple upstream source" style instead of "tar-in-tar".
New style makes it easier to check source code with search engine like
sources.debian.net.
But the package is *not* in "multiple upstream source" format; instead it
merges all of the sources into a single tar.xz which does not match the
upstream sources.
- add libfreetype6-dbg package (Closes: #281558)
Nack on this. We should not be adding more -dbg packages to the archive.
Anyone who cares about this should spend their time helping to make ddebs a
reality instead.
So, there seem to be some good changes in this package, but it's not in a
state that should be uploaded to the archive.
