Do you have a preferred way to break the cycle? My preference would be
to weaken the strict libfontconfig1 -> fontconfig-config dependency. The
latter just contains configuration files, which are not related to the
library ABI at all. In case fontconfig-config introduces a new option
which only  a newer library can handle the dependency needs to be
bumped, but that's the case only very seldomly.

The other option would be to introduce manual changes to many dozen
packages which currently use cdbs and ship SVG files, or to revert the
image comparison which checks for correctness.
