Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.9.0-7

        Unfortunately, the current fontconfig-config dependencies on
        fonts lead to the necessity of having one of such fonts
        installed on an otherwise “headless” systems.

        Consider, e. g., the following dependency chain:

    gnunet-server
      ← libextractor3
          ← libpoppler19
              ← libfontconfig1
                  ← fontconfig-config
                      ← ttf-dejavu-core
                      | ttf-bitstream-vera
                      | ttf-freefont
                      | gsfonts-x11

        Thus, there's no way (short of introducing an equivs package, or
        the like) to set up a GNUnet node without also installing a
        never to be used scalable font package.

        Unless there's a specific problem with that, please downgrade
        the dependency on the font packages to Recommends:.

        TIA.
