After the meeting, I discussed this more with Laney. It seems like it would be possible to check for and rewrite symlinks as part of the fontconfig maintainer scripts. This wasn't done in Debian and I'm not working on it right now. But somebody could do it sometime. Meanwhile, it doesn't seem like it's causing a problem to keep using the old directory. The other two discussion topics at the meeting weren't resolved either so we'll continue discussion on the list. I think it makes sense to split them into separate topics so I'll start new threads for them.
