Do you have a preferred way to break the cycle? My preference would be to weaken the strict libfontconfig1 -> fontconfig-config dependency. The latter just contains configuration files, which are not related to the library ABI at all. In case fontconfig-config introduces a new option which only a newer library can handle the dependency needs to be bumped, but that's the case only very seldomly.
The other option would be to introduce manual changes to many dozen packages which currently use cdbs and ship SVG files, or to revert the image comparison which checks for correctness.
