What happens if a package includes non-free fonts already?

I have been investigating bug 536920, which is a crash in fontlint when
running against a font file included in poker3d-data.

This font file is neurpoli.ttf, which turns out to be one of the Larabie
fonts. Larabie fonts cannot be packaged because of the restrictions on
modification:

I imagine that Nicholas raised this problem while doing his periodic
fonts-incorrectly-packaged-in-non-font-package checks. The request to
separate out the fonts from poker3d-data has been long since closed
WONTFIX:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477443

But actually, it seems that poker3d-data couldn't have this font separated
out anyway.

Should I be raising a bug against poker3d-data along the lines of "you
need to remove non-free font from package"?
