CDBS automagically includes some files as documentation (see 
debhelper.mk snippet).

You can use something like this to suppress that for the udeb:

DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_fonts-knda-udeb =


I don't think you can suppress buildinfo for specific packages.  I 
suggest filing a bugreport against dh-buildinfo to never produce it for 
udeb packages.

You can avoid dh-buildinfo completely by not build-dependencing on 
dh-buildinfo.  To suppress it being auto-resolved as a build-dependency 
you can add this:

CDBS_BUILD_DEPENDS_rules_debhelper_buildinfo =
