Just removing the build-stamp alone isn't enough. Your build-stamp
target copies the otf file to build/ and then your install target
installs it from that build/ directory with:  install -m 0644
build/*.otf $(CURDIR)/debian/fonts-pecita$(IFD)

So, to drop the build-stamp, you would need to adjust the install
target to: install -m 0644 *.otf $(CURDIR)/debian/fonts-pecita$(IFD)

Though, as Christian mentioned, your package could be much simpler
with a dh7-style debian/rules file. For instance, if you had a
debian/install file with the contents: *.otf
usr/share/fonts/opentype/pecita

Your debian/rules file would only need to contain:

#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
	dh $@

I hope I explained that ok. Try looking at an existing package in the
pkg-fonts svn repository. Like:
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-fonts/packages/fonts-nafees/trunk/

You need to provide fonts-pecita_3.2.orig.tar.gz when building the
source package.

These would be fixed by using the dh7-style debian/rules file.

This is regarding the Standards-Version field in debian/control

debian/prerm, debian/preinst, and debian/postinst are all empty and
should be removed.

The debian/docs file is also empty and can be removed.
