AFAIU, there is 2 issues:
 1. how to do with the particular case of harfbuzz -- bug#39575
 2. how to solve the general case of unreliable sources -- bug#28659

So instead of merging the bugs (case 2.), I would like to solve 1.,
mark it as done and report to bug#28659. It will ease to follow
because the thread in bug#28659 is already heavy. :-)



All the best,
simon
