Rationale: Font packages that stop shipping a font file, or which move a
font file from one location to another, need to run update-fonts-dir in
their postrm scripts on upgrade, so that a fonts.dir file with stale
references to the (re)moved file(s) is not left in an existing directory.
If you don't do this, the result is Bug#252895.

I am seeking seconds for this proposal.
