Sure, I'd be happy to collaborate on that.

Taking a brief look at poppler-data, it seems like the right thing to do
would be to ship symlinks to the right locations under /usr/share/cmap and
add a Requires for the cmap packages? These directories are versioned, e.g.
"/usr/share/cmap/cmap-japan1-6-2012.08.14/", which seemed like a good idea
at the time.

It looks like poppler-data also has the deprecated cmap-japan2-0 resources (
https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/cmap-resources/tree/master/Deprecated),
which are not currently packaged. I could fix this. :)
