Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.14.1-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When you run:
# dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config

The first question asked is:

    Please select the preferred method for tuning fonts for screen rendering.

    Select 'Native' if you mostly use DejaVu (the default in Debian) or any of the Microsoft fonts. Select

However as of debian bookworm, debian default is not DejaVu but instead Noto. See for example #1028643 or #1029390 or #1028897

Please change this message and provide advice on what font tuning method to select. Thank you.
