fontconfig: don't "clean up" on new installs

[Geoffrey Thomas]

This is a re-reporting of Debian #636173, since the actual failure is only triggered on Ubuntu.

debian/fontconfig.postinst includes this snippet:

  if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt 2.4.0-1; then
  printf "Cleaning up old fontconfig caches... "
  for dir in /usr/share/fonts /var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts /usr/local/share/fonts ; do
        if [ -d $dir ]; then
            find $dir -name fonts.cache-1 -exec rm -f \{\} \;
            find $dir -depth -mindepth 1 -type d -exec rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty \{\} \;
        fi
  done
  ...

This block gets run when fontconfig is initially installed, as well as when upgrading from fontconfig (<< 2.4.0-1). This interacts poorly with Ubuntu's ttf-mscorefonts-installer package, which includes an empty /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts directory and writes files to that directory in the postinst. If you install fontconfig and ttf-mscorefonts-installer in the same apt run, the directory will get unpacked, fontconfig's postinst will rmdir it, and ttf-mscorefont-installer's postinst will get really confused.

I proposed to Debian that it would suffice to just use "lt-nl" instead of "lt", so that an empty $2 (a new install) causes dpkg
--compare-versions to return false. That way the cleanup code only runs on upgrade from the old version of fontconfig, where it is presumably actually needed, and not on first install.
