I am unsure what you are discussing here. The only dependency which is problematic is libfontconfig1 Depends: on fontconfig. Other packages depending on fontconfig are OK. Packages depending on libfontconfig1 are OK providing they also Depends on fontconfig (which can be achieved through shlibs file).
