Thanks for your report! This commit:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/commit/030759b7

includes a filename change from 10-no-sub-pixel.conf to 
10-sub-pixel-none.conf. These files:

debian/fontconfig-config.config
debian/fontconfig-config.postinst
debian/fontconfig-config.postrm

include the old name, so there is indeed a need to adapt to the name 
change. And I suspect that your observation is a result of my omission 
to adjust it when upgrading to fontconfig 2.14.2.

I have submitted this merge request:

https://salsa.debian.org/freedesktop-team/fontconfig/-/merge_requests/12

While it doesn't remove the obsolete symlink, it ought to create the 
correct symlink going forward.
