Davide, I didn't notice this in ttf-dejavu (I should have). You
apparently don't purge defoma's font-cache in the preinst scripts.
What I added to other packages' scripts is:
case "$1" in
install|upgrade)
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl "$VERSION"; then
if [ -f $FILE ]; then
if [ -x /usr/bin/defoma-font ]; then
defoma-font purge-all $FILE || true
fi
fi
rm_conffile $PKG $FILE
fi
esac
I agree that, when defoma is dropped, this won't be of any importance,
but until then, it's probably cleaner to purge the cache when the
hints file is dropped.
