Package: fonts-the-neue-black
Version: 1.008+ds-1
Severity: serious

This font has a Reserved Font Name, so the font properties of the
upstream release may not change. Unfortunately, the programs involved in
the build do not result in a reproducible font. We usually ship the
font files published by upstream (in this case at GitHub releases).

You can add the GitHub release file via a MUT (see debian-watch) to the
source tarball. Please keep building the font even when the installed
font is the upstream one. This is the usual and convenient solution.

Other solutions are asking upstream if they are content with the build
path and we can ship this way or renaming the font (which we usually do
not do).

The best solution would be producing a font with exactly the same
properties as upstream's build. You can use sfddiff to check the font
differences.
