I'm removing the a11y tag, since your bug report has nothing do to
with accessibility.

While you are correct that libfreetype-dev doesn't contain
freetype-config, the fact the script isn't installed is not a bug.

The upstream developers deprecated freetype-config around 2.5 years
ago. Debian hasn't packaged freetype-config since. In fact, the most
recent Debian package to contain freetype-config is 2.6.3-3.2+deb9u1
in Debian Stretch (oldstable).

All of this is to say that freetype-config won't be coming back. You
need to use pkg-config to detect the FreeType 2 library.

PKG_CHECK_MODULES([FT2], [freetype2]) will work as a starting point.
