You mean the mega font? That's actually 207M
uncompressed :)
That should probably go to a different package (and depend on it). I
don't see why it couldn't fallback to another available font if it's not
available, though.
I could indeed work without that font. But in this case I will
create
font switching commands in the latex file. This means that it won't
compile with pdflatex, since that does not allow font switching inside
headings. Furthermore the LaTeX file will become significantly less
readable. I also cannot put the fonts to another package, since the
Debian project is not going to accept that package, as I just
investigated. So essentially it is not possible to create a
significantly better deb file from my point of view.
