Debian considers fonts-ubuntu to be “non-free” while Canonical
disagrees.

I'm sorry, can you please link to where is written that "Canonical
disagrees"? This is the first I'm reading about that Canonical
interpretation, while in other issues...

* https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-licence/+bug/1167425 was marked as confirmed in 2013;
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-licence/+bug/769874 is still open with the understanding that it is a non-free license, and its 'fix' for debian was actually to mark the package as non-free (which we ow reverted here).
