Hi Fabian,
thanks for your work on that, I finally had time to look into
it, I was rather busy recently due to a conference I organized.

THere is one thing I am pondering about for the upload
after the release of Debian.
We are currently shipping the type1 fonts with family names without
strings in the fonts.scale file (/etc/X11/fonts/Type1/tex-gyre.scale)
qzcmi.pfb -unregistered-TeXGyreChorus-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
qzcmi.pfb -unregistered-TeXGyreChorus-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
qagr.pfb -unregistered-TeXGyreAdventor-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
qagr.pfb -unregistered-TeXGyreAdventor-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
...
Now I am not convinced what we actually should do:
1* drop type1 fonts completely from X support and only ship OTF fonts
2* keep type1 fonts shipped, but change names to match TeX Gyre Chorus etc
3* only add your fontconfig file and keep the type 1 fonts as they are
4* (just for completeness) do nothing at all ;-)
Since you have currently the deepest insight into the mixture of
fonts etc, do you have a suggestion?

Is there a way to tell fontconfig to reject all TeX Gyre fonts
with format Type 1 without listing *every font*
Best wishes
