This font is licensed under OFL-1.1+RFN and more than 10 years [1] it 
was already declared "de facto abandoned". There is ~zero chance to 
reproduce a bit-for-bit identical file to the one provided upstream.

I'm pretty new to this topic, so before doing a change to this package, 
that may be considered stupid afterward, I prefer to ask you directly: 
would it be OK repack the package with the source files, to build the 
font in d/rules but to still install upstream provided TTF files ?
