The xfonts-scalable package does not manipulate the
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf file in any way.

Also, the xftcache program is in the xbase-clients package, not
xfont-scalable.

I need some help discerning what specifically you feel the bug is:

1) is it your contention that there are bad fonts in the xfonts-scalable
   package?
2) is it your contention that the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file has been
   misconfigured?
3) is it your contention that the xftcache program is buggy?

For what it's worth, the xftcache program *is* known to be buggy, and no
longer exists in Xft 2.x, having been superseded by fontconfig.
