I'm planning to move them out of /etc to upstream's default of /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/, while the /etc/fonts/conf.d/ symlinks will be managed by a hook instead, which should make them less volatile on upgrades.

I believe new fontconfig version 2:2.13.93-4 (currently in testing) should fix this.
