as long as all sources are available in the upload, I think the "buildable 
from source"-requirement can be loosened for bootstrapping the package.
If I remember correctly, the missing sources and the incomplete 
debian/copyright have been the only reasons for the rejection (except 
somebody else objects now).

Generally speaking, if you can not build each part of a binary package 
from source, this package can not be in main. Somehow you have to create 
that font file, afterwards you create the images and put them into the 
binary package. This doesn't sound much different from compiled sources!?
