Also, then it does not make sense anymore to symlink these fonts into /usr/share/fonts to make them available for fontconfig, since they will already be there via xfonts-scalable.

If one or more of the fonts so packaged are necessary for proper operation of the package with which they are associated the font package may be Recommended; if the fonts merely provide an enhancement, a Suggests relationship may be used. Ref: policy 11.8.5 Recommend is not possible, because that would result in dangling symlinks. So that is not possible. Closing this bug.
