There has been no progress or follow-up on this bug report in over two
years.

I also recently noticed that some of the icons in the existing font
are brand icons which should be removed because of licensing issues.
Also, this package is not built from source - it is the precompiled
fonts build using @mdi/font-build.

My proposal is to repackage this using @mdi/font-build to actually
build the font from source, removing the brand icons first.  I'll NMU
this when the required node packages are packaged and have reached
unstable.  If you'd prefer me to take the package over, or to add
myself as an uploader, I'm also happy to do that.  I'll do the work in
a new repository since the existing one (as already noted earlier in
this thread) is too muddled to really build on it.

Best wishes,

   Julian
