The package includes remixicon which has a non-sale clause in addition
(contradicting) its Apache license. This is also reported upstream.

The licence situation for remixicon actually gets worse...

https://github.com/Remix-Design/RemixIcon/issues/1069

None of the reverse dependencies of python3-qtawesome in Debian unstable use the remixicon (ri) variant of qtawesome.

The remix usage in the rdeps can be detected from the "ri." prefix, remix/remixicon strings, and custom load_font/set_charmap calls that could alias the remix font):

python3-spyder: mdi/mdi6 (Material Design Icons) + custom spyder font
python3-spyder-line-profiler: mdi (mdi.speedometer)
crispy: fa6s (Font Awesome 6 solid)
openlp: mdi + custom op font
finalcif: fa5/fa5s, mdi, ph (Phosphor), msc (= codicon)

So you can drop the font from the package in my opinion.
