We could have a profile hook that creates the cache, but how would we arrange to have ~/.cache/fontconfig pointing to the right thing? I mean =E2=80=98guix package=E2=80=99 could modify ~/.cache/fontconfig, but= that=E2=80=99s not something we=E2=80=99ve done until now (=E2=80=98guix package=E2=80=99 only= touches ~/.guix-profile and /var/guix/profiles.)
