 I don't know. But if there are some packages to use xftcache in
postinst (or so), they will be fixed after xfree86 4.3.0 package
release.

 Cache file generated by xftcache is only refered by old (XFree86
4.2.1's) Xft1 library. Newer Xft1 (provided by XFree86 4.3.0) and
all Xft2 do not use cache file genereated xftcache (they use
fontconfig, so they use cache file generated by fc-cache).

 xftcache is not needed on XFree86 4.3.0 environment.
