In the parantheses, I was indeed confused.

No. The fact that you use a bitmap representation of (the "most common"
chars of) the font stored in an image doesn't change the fact that you
are essentially shipping a version of the font and need to abide by its
license and document copyright and license in debian/copyright. This is
also borderline w.r.t. the requirement that everything in Debian must be
built from source to be shipped in the .deb.
