Good catch! That Debian bug was filed in 2017, and "the fix" of it was uploaded in Ubuntu here:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/8.0.1~repack-2

So: Some users like that the .ttf files in fonts-wine are treated as system fonts, and some users dislike it. If you dislike it, please submit a Debian bug and request that "the fix" of <https://bugs.debian.org/883973> gets reverted. Given the subjective nature of the issue, it would not make sense to change it back in Ubuntu only.
