I don't remember exactly. However I tried to reproduce the problem on a recent system both with fonts-noto-core 20181227-1 and 20201027-3 and could not reproduce the problem. Therefore I consider it to be fixed. You can close this bug if you wish or I can do it if you prefer. Thanks for checking this issue! -- Laurent.

I agree that packages should cleanup conffiles no longer included with the package (assuming that's what you mean by "should not create obsolete conffiles"). I fail to recognize, however, that fonts-noto-core fails to such cleanup. The command you share the output of indicates that you feel that the conffile /etc/fonts/conf.avail/30-droid-noto.conf is the one that is not cleaned up, and you reported this issue against version 20181227-1 of fonts-noto-core. Did you have fonts-noto-core 20181227-1 installed, or installed and then removed, or installed and then purged, when you ran that command?

Thanks for reporting this issue.
So you are reporting _where_ you spotted an issue.
Please elaborate: What _is_ the issue?
