Lintian has recently started emitting this groff warning for ftlint.1
in freetype-demos as part of its man pages check:

I will be removing the transitional package libfreetype6-dev (from the
source package freetype) later this year.
Currently, there are 219 build-dependencies and 29 (direct)
dependencies on libfreetype6-dev, which has been released with
bullseye and bookworm.
I plan to file bugs with severity

The package tracker is no longer displaying migration status or ‘excuses’
for packages.
I expected xmlstarlet to have almost migrated, but it’s stuck on 3 days old.
Other packages are not displaying any migration status, despite being

I hadn't considered that, but it might be a good idea. Why do you ask?

I realise removing freetype-config may not be popular. However,
the long-term benefits will outweigh any short-term inconvenience.
