Please consider using that and closing this bug.
I disagree: Debian is (and ought to be) an *integrated* distribution, and
all of its packages should really work together without lots of arcane
fiddling. The referenced package seems to be an easy way to generate the
few additional files which, when included in the ttf-gentium package,
would make it a "mature" package which works well together with the rest
of debian. If you are really opposed to adding this to the ttf-gentium
package, then there should be a ttf-gentium-latex package which provides
the required files for LaTeX interoperability -- but when the files are
small, why force people to do extra stuff to make everything Just Work?
No one should be forced to generate new debian packages or do special
configuration in order just to make the parts of debian work well
together.
