Yes, but could that file be config-protected to allow users to add
special paths of fonts installed somewhere else?
pkg_postinst is sandbox of and I don't want to re-implement
CONFIG_PROTECT.

The FontPath elements are concated inside one Section "Files", but not
accross multiple xorg.conf.d files.

Investigating the handling of FontPath values (and multiple config
files), I stumbled over a macro CONFIG_MAX_FILES set to 64 in [1].
Thus i consider adding/wasting one file per font package to expensive
and a bad design, in the face of 154 packages [2] inheriting font.eclass.
