There's already a comment above fontconfig-with-documentation that
reads:
This is intentionally named 'fontconfig', as it's intended as the
user-facing fontconfig package
The original fontconfig was renamed fontconfig-minimal but the variable
was not renamed to avoid having to adjust the rest of the code base. It
could be done, and then the fontconfig-with-documentation *variable*
could be renamed to simply fontconfig.
That'd be more conventional.
Would you like to give it a try? It shouldn't cause any rebuild, I
think.
