Package: libfontconfig1
Version: 2.4.2-1.2
Severity: minor
Why is fonts.dtd in /etc/fonts? It isn't used by fontconfig, and therefore
changing it is not useful, nor does it have any effect on programs parsing
the fonts.conf file.
It seems this file is purely documentation (and not very useful
documentation at it) and therefore should be in /usr/share/doc?
(I might be wrong, but I have not found a way to make any fontocnfig app
look at the file)

/etc/fonts/fonts.dtd is needed by various fontconfig configurations
because they are all xml files, and it should not be considered as a
documentation. Look at /etc/fonts/fonts.conf's header:
> <?xml version="1.0"?>
> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
> <!-- /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
> <fontconfig>
This will answer your question.
