Actually, I wrote last week I'd like font packages not to depend on anything, be it "just" xorg-x11-font-utils of full perl. Pre-generating fonts-* at build time is easy. Having dynamic fontconfig-like generation less so but is not overly difficult either. Both would reduce considerably the problems bdftruncate creates. Since you seem to care about it do you want to take over core fonts packaging guidelines maintenance?

Nothing compelling, though it's a shame to drop functionalities for packages which need a good dependency makeover anyway. -- Nicolas Mailhot
