Davide, I didn't notice this in ttf-dejavu (I should have). You
apparently don't purge defoma's font-cache in the preinst scripts.

What I added to other packages' scripts is:

case "$1" in
install|upgrade)
    if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl "$VERSION"; then
        if [ -f $FILE ]; then
                if [ -x /usr/bin/defoma-font ]; then
                        defoma-font purge-all $FILE || true
                fi
        fi
        rm_conffile $PKG $FILE
    fi
esac

I agree that, when defoma is dropped, this won't be of any importance,
but until then, it's probably cleaner to purge the cache when the
hints file is dropped.
