Just curious: Why?

Whoever uses Debian: Everything should work out of the box if you
uninstall `ttf-kochi-{gothic,mincho}' and simply replace it with
`fonts-ipafont-{gothic,mincho}'.  Similarly, all changes to the
lilypond files as shown above is a simple search and replace; lilypond
doesn't load the Japanese fonts by name.

Since I don't use Debian I hesitate to provide a patch of my own;
additionally, it's probably necessary to update GUB accordingly.
