This is hard to follow for me, but I did.   I therefore expect, perhaps
unfairly that many others will have the same sorts of difficulties.  So
I think it's fine to commit your fix, but I'd like either a pointer  to
the PR, or an explanation perhaps

  This package, on its own, is chosen as builtin.  Because some package
  that it depends on is chosen as pkgsrc, it must also be forced to
  pkgsrc.  Clear the prefix, because otherwise the later logic to set
  the prefix to pkgsrc will fail.

and if I got it wrong and you fix it to be better, that's fine with me.

I think I was thrown by your fontconfig printout showing no and pkg,
which seemed ok.   It took reading the PR for me to realize the issue.
