I think the explanation can be found in d/control of fonts-ubuntu:

It says "Section: non-free/fonts" also in the Ubuntu archive.
frankly I don't understand why you don't fix this on the Ubuntu side? :)
Well, I now realize that it could probably be fixed in the fonts-ubuntu
package. (But even then I think it would be preferable to do it in
Debian to not stop the possibility for Ubuntu to sync the source.)
And that's probably the reason why the adjustment I propose in the
merge request makes a difference.
actually I dont see a merge request anywhere(???)

ah, thanks.
That file refers to #603157 which is a rather old and which states that
a.) the Ubuntu Fonts License 1.0 is an interim solution and b.) that
everybody would like to fix the build system, so that ubuntu-fonts could
probably also go into main in Debian. Do you know of any progress on
these issues?
Can't tell if anything has happened there. My attention to the issue was
called the other day via the Ask Ubuntu questions I mentioned in the
beginning of this bug report.
fonts-ubuntu sans-serif font set from Ubuntu
[...]
ok, so it's detected as coming from non-free which makes sense now that I
know what's in debian/control of that package..
So, I don't think this should be fixed in vrms: the fonts-ubuntu package
on Ubuntu ships meta data which specifies the package is non-free and
vrms merely displays this information. So even on the Ubuntu side I think
this should be fixed in src:fonts-ubuntu and non in src:vrms. >
Unless some convincing argument shows up I will close this bug soon.
What you say makes sense. The reason I submitted this bug was that it's
the existence of vrms which makes it an issue. Anyway, I'll see if it
can be handled in src:fonts-ubuntu instead.
Thanks!
