If it can happen that multiple packages install to share/fonts/ (certainly true for share/fonts/truetype and probably true for other -directories) and fonts.dir then is conflicting (and doesn't ever contain all the entries of the directory), I think that your idea is very good (and how it was done before is dead wrong).
