I don't, either. I just have them installed for the heck of it, believe it
or not...

I noticed the errors, and reported.  But that's about it.

I am not intersted into taking care of yet another non-free package :(

However, if the CID font packages will not work well without mkcfm, we
should remove them all until someone steps to take care of non-free mkcfm
(or writes a replacement one).  Then the CID fonts can come back to either
contrib (mkcfm in non-free) or main (new DFSG-compliant mkcfm
implementation).
