Ideally, we'd have a way to ask fontconfig to remove this file as it is
nominally responsible for creating it. As I expect to have a new version
of fontconfig shortly which creates 'fonts.cache-2', it doesn't make a
lot of sense to hard-code this filename into the various font packages.

Perhaps some option to fc-cache to 'uncache' a directory is in order
here?

Does xfonts-100dpi even run 'fc-cache' when it installs this directory?
Or is it generated as a part of some other installation process?
