I know. The problem is old and known, namely that many TeX documents
search fonts not via fontconfig but via file name, and thus the fonts
have to be in the texmf tree (at least as links to the actual files).
THis *has* losts of advantages because fontconfig often messes up font
selection when large sets of fonts (osc, expert, ...) are available.

I am contemplating a different solution now (separate package
texlive-fontlinks that ships the links and dependencies, but is not
automatically installed).
