This problem was fixed 3 days ago on our svn repository. See:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-fonts/packages/ttf-freefont/trunk/debian/scripts/convertfonts.sh?op=log&rev=0&sc=0&isdir=0

The new FontForge program supports the native and python scripting and
defaults to python scripting. FontForge determines what scripting
language to use based on:
  1) Environment variable FONTFORGE_LANGUAGE which may be either 
        "py" or "ff"
  2) Command line argument -lang=ff or -lang=py
  3) Extension of the script file: .pe and .ff => old style (native
     scripting).

Best wishes,
