From your summary, I think the ideal move is having X.org upstream
drop this font from their distribution ("picking" it from CTAN has no
logic: if it lives on CTAN, it should be provided by TeX-related
software, not by X.org).
And, of course, also add the fontconfig file to
texlive-fonts-recommended as you suggest.

It might not be as easy as it seems. I have once witnessed an argument
on some mailing list between TeX and Ghostscript people about who is the
right "authority" to host the 35 Postscript core fonts. ;)

In my opinion, texlive-fonts-recommended should export the psnfss fonts
to fontconfig, i.e. the 35 Postscript core fonts plus Bitstream Charter
and Adobe Utopia. The will end up redundant with gsfonts for the core
fonts and xfonts-scalable for the Charter, but these fonts are installed
as duplicates anyway and then it's up to fontconfig to choose between
the alternatives. I'll post a patch against texlive-fonts-recommended
soon.
