On deinstallation of a package, the package's registered configurations
are compared with the versions in the share/examples directory.
If different, then it is removed.
On a package installation, if the configuration does not exist, it will be
copied into place from the (newly installed) share/examples version.
All well and good, but what you have NOT mentioned is what has been done vs
should have been done if the configuration DOES exist.
whyzat ?
In the case of fontconfig, the fonts.conf file should not be manually
edited by the admin as the customizations should be in local.conf.
OK - why then was the old fontconfig <defaults?> NOT removed or replaced?
Reality doesn't seem to be following either my preferences or your 'should have'
(standard?) here.
Not a who is right/wrong issue to me.
More one of expectations/predictability - and what is presently in the code....
