Comment (by egrath):

 Eventually a proper solution would be to provide two versions of the
 package: One which has Subpixel Rendering and Hinting disabled and is
 installed by default. Another one in the repository which has it enabled
 and can be installed by users who live in a country where there are no
 software patents (most of the world except US).
