> 1. did the package get renamed? If so - then there needs to be an obsoletes

There are very few packages depending directly on font packages, and converting
to font guidelines does not necessarily produce compatible packages. It
replaces a lot of manual steps with automation, making new file location &
naming predictible. However they do not necessarily match whatever the packager
did manually before (and actually most often they don't).

So it's better not to pretend we provide the old package, to make deps on the
old package break, and have packagers actually check the paths they use are all
right. The main reason to add a dep on a font package is because an app does
not use fontconfig and relies on exact file placement (which is argually a bug
in the app since we've been converting to fontconfig for ~ 7 years now, but
that's another problem)

> 2. What is the conflicts allowing?

There is not trace of it in bugzilla, because you gave advice over IRC, but
IIRC they were added to the update pattern in the course of solving bug
#474514. If you think it's not needed we'll be happy not to have to bother with
it.
