My current workaround for this no longer rely on CDBS, but essentially
does this:
1>&2 exiftool '-textOut!' %d%f.%e:meta -short -short -recurse -ext ttf .
licensecheck --copyright --deb-machine --recursive --lines 0 --check '.*'
--ignore '.*\.ttf$' -- *
find -type f -name '*.ttf' -delete
My actual workaround scripts are tailored to each package, and typically
the one most detailed and most up-to-date is the one for ghostscript:
