I think you want this directory instead, but yeah:

/usr/share/fonts/opentype/texlive

Please test it with fc-match before doing it though, obviously.

Both would be fine, I think it would be better to wait for fontconfig to
add the triggers.

Once you add the symlinks above the fontconfig trigger stuff isn't
needed though because fontconfig already has a trigger
on /usr/share/fonts.
