Some googling in some cases suggested this problem may be caused by
some old libraries hanging around (this particular system has been
upgraded on each release since woody, so that is entirely plausible,
despite having purged completely any rc state packages).
I cleared one old libXft out but I am not sure what else could be
causing the issue, but it does appear to be something related to
a library based upon the symbol errors.
If the problem is not directly within fontconfig or its package
and there is indeed an old library lurking, perhaps some notes
should be added to the release notes pertaining to removal of old
libraries.
