User aren't supposed to use unstable like stable. Each time you do an
apt-get bugs are fixed some others are introduced.

If you want to use unstable you should install apt-listchanges then you
can received what's changed in the latest upgrade like :

fontconfig (2.2.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * The "Society For Creative Anachronism Seizes Control Of Russia"
    release.
  * debian/control:
    - Recommend ttf-bitstream-vera, since it is the default fallback font
      now.  Plus it does look pretty nice.  (Closes: #190675).
    - Suggest: ttf-freefont, my favorite font.
