I think a bug should be filed and fixed. 
Or have you (Hideki) already uploaded ?

You are correct.  I'm a bit ambivalent on that, since we've seen a
pattern that new and better fonts pop up every year (full-featured
free fonts are a very nascent thing in Japanese), and I think a
standard tasksel installation of Debian should already satisfy the
dependency with a good enough font of the year.
