You do not appear to have looked at update-fonts-scale in XFree86
4.2.1-7 or later.

  * debian/local/update-fonts-scale: only write fonts to the .scale file that
    actually exist, so that removed-but-not-purged scalable font packages do
    not register nonexistent fonts; this has the desirable side effect that
    the count at the top of the file is also omitted (based on a patch by
    Roland Rosenfeld) (Closes: #193185)

Please update your suggested patch accordingly.  Otherwise, I'll get to
updating update-fonts-alias when I can.
