You should unbundle it and create a separate package.

I don't think CMAP has security implications, but projects that bundle old
versions of the Adobe datafiles will behave in non-optimal ways when they
hit a font/text combination that requires a mapping Adobe introduced in a
later version.

That sounds like a good idea.

How should it work though? I can grab all the .tar.z files from http://sourceforge.net/adobe/cmap/home/Home/, extract them, and throw them somewhere into /usr/share (/usr/share/cmap/)... then packages can grab up-to-date copies of the cmap resources from there?
