Dear maintainer,
I'm packaging the latest scribus 1.5.7, and they have added an
(optional) dependency on harfbuzz-subset.

Looking, it seems that you are explicitly not packaging it:
override_dh_install:
dh_install --exclude=subset
Could you please consider including it in the Debian packaging?
It's not packaged because the API was (maybe still is) unstable. From the NEWS
file:

I think we can package it, as hopefully the API is (somewhat) stable now and we
don't need transitions without SONAME changes (and with conflicting, renamed
packages).
MRs welcome.
Cheers,
Emilio
