Probably there should be an explanation that I cannot find on the internet for this, but why in conf.avail/ there aren't some configuration presets? I found that antialias, hinting + various hinting styles and no-lcdfilter are missing. Even if they are not symlinked in conf.d/ by default, it's useful to have them ready in conf.avail/ I attached a patch I made for Debian packages for reference.
