You're right, but I see it mostly as a recommendation, which can be
eventually bypassed on special situations:

"Non-conformance with guidelines denoted by should (or recommended) will
generally be considered a bug, but will not necessarily render a package
unsuitable for distribution."
(https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-scope.html)

Anycase, as I said, I don't know details about this need, and I don't
know how MuseScore would be affected in Debian if we use our freetype
packages. I'm just trusting the upstreams (whom I've been working with
for some time). But as I don't have much time now to go into the issue,
I'll be fine with any decision from the team.

Bests,
