Doing this as a one-off would be extranous (which is why it has been waiting for a new upstream release to go out, which hasn't happened yet), but it would be relatively quick (5–10 minutes to actually change ./debian/{control,*.install} and then an hour or two testing upgrade testing combinations) to split these at the point of doing the next packaged font release.
It makes sense to do this at the same time as bug #863358, as the rename to the New Debian Font Standard packaging names requires the same operations, and this would turn two rounds into a single round.
