While it doesn't remove the obsolete symlink, it ought to create the
correct symlink going forward.


After some additions to the MR, it now does both.

Thanks for your report! This commit:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/commit/030759b7

includes a filename change from 10-no-sub-pixel.conf to 
10-sub-pixel-none.conf. These files:


debian/fontconfig-config.config
debian/fontconfig-config.postinst
debian/fontconfig-config.postrm

include the old name, so there is indeed a need to adapt to the name 
change. And I suspect that your observation is a result of my omission 
to adjust it when upgrading to fontconfig 2.14.2.
