First repackage source to not include the files.  And then - if needed - 
patch source to work around the now missing files.

Looking closer (thanks to your suggestion below), the font are possibly 
released by Adobe with a DFSG-compatible license - but only when a 
specific file containing the license included.  That file seems missing, 
and therefore I believe _this_ distribution of the fonts is not covered 
by the DFSG-compatible license!

Thanks for the suggestion (you could also file those reports yourself).

I have no idea what to do about that. In any case, here are some
more:

Please also file bugs against those.
