Binary package hint: defoma

The /usr/bin/defoma-hints perl executable is used to create hints files for new
fonts (/etc/defoma/hints/*). Due to the deletion of the libft-perl dependency
(build issues since perl-5.10), defoma-hints is also broken.
To reproduce this error:
% defoma-hints truetype /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/*.ttf
Wait for second...
defoma-hints Can't locate FreeType.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10
/usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at (eval 4) line 2.
AFAICT this breaks users and maintainers ability to easily add new
defoma-managed fonts under Intrepid and Jaunty.
