At this moment, unfortunately the updates at the install time are required to
update the directory caches. there are two types of the caches in fontconfig.
one is to contain a font meta data to reduce the costs to iterate a font, which
could be generated at the build time (for Fedora at least. generally speaking,
maybe not, because the unit of the cache are per-directories not per-files).
one is to contain a directory meta data to reduce the costs to iterate files in
a directory and detect the updates, which is likely to be changed at the
install time.
