  Description     : Remove TrueType and OpenType bytecodes and tables from font files

Taken from project readme:

dehinter is a Python command line application that removes TrueType
instruction sets, global hinting tables, and other associated OpenType
table data in font files. The tool provides cross-platform support on
macOS, Windows, and Linux systems with a Python v3.6+ interpreter.

This is a dependency of fontbakery (#932568), and this package should be
maintained under Debian Fonts Task Force.

This also seems to be a dependency of fontbakery. I can tackle this bug
first and get this one packaged first and follow up on the other
dependencies.

Can I take over this ITP bug?

Hi it's been 6 months since I originally asked about taking over the bug and I found some time to look into it hence I'm taking over the ITP.
