As Debian maintainer of the package I cannot comment on what Ubuntu is
doing specially here.

Which is strange and can only be explained by your local adaptions.
On my computer it still installs into $TEXMFVAR = ~/.texmf-var
The respective files are:
/etc/texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf
which by default contains
: ${MT_FEATURES=appendonlydir:texmfvar}
which means that fonts are created in $TEXMFVAR

That is Ubuntu's problem, since I don't have any idea what AppArmor
is doing or prohibiting or messing up.
