Those are exactly the types of bugs I am attempting to fix.  Specifically, 
those trigger the following 2 lintian tags:

https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag/font-in-non-font-package

https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag/font-outside-font-dir

You can see how those affect redmine:

As you noted, .WOFF2 fonts are particularly affected by this (858 times), 
because a lot of upstream packages ship them in their tarballs, especially web 
applications.  The purpose of this bug report is to handle this in a more 
Debian-appropriate way for noto by shipping the .WOFF2 fonts in a font package 
and then linking to them from the web application.
