Fontconfig 2.9.0 uploaded to Debian Experimental

Thanks to Akira Tagoh for taking over maintenance of fontconfig. As a result of this switch, there's a new release, 2.9.0.

Along with this new upstream release, I've responded to Debian bug 651493 and removed all defoma support from the fontconfig packages. Installing the new version should remove all traces of the old defoma support as well.

I'd love to hear from people with success (or not) in testing this version of the package; 2.9.0 should be uploaded to unstable in time for the next freeze.
