Julian, that patch is inaccurate in situations (like mine) where it was
warned about a ~/.fonts.conf.d directory (that needs to be moved to
~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d.

Title:
  better ~/.fonts.conf deprecation warning

Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  if you have ~/fonts.conf and start an application using it you get
  following warning:

  "Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading
  configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated."

  it is not clear from that what it wants you to do. You have to read
  50-user.conf and understand it.

  The error message should tell you directly to move the configuration to the xdg folders.
  attached a patch to do so.
