Perhaps I'm mis-interpreting the guidelines, but I don't feel like the font packaging rules should apply in this case. When we describe the rules for packaging fonts, I feel like that was related to fonts that are to be installed for shared usage. ie stuff going into /usr/share/fonts should be provided by a fonts-xxx package, not as a side effect of some other package. The fonts that get copied/around embedded in documentation are for private usage by only that documentation. Any shared docs generator tools would ideally pull their fonts from common source, but whatever they do for output we should just accept. It is not a sane use of resources to expect package maintainers to hack the generated docs to change how they deal with fonts. Sphinx is just one docs tool, there are many other tools, often written just to suit the one app in question.
