No, the libxml2 postinstall script shouldn't add fonts.dtd.  That should be 
added only when/if fontconfig is installed.  So it's an appropriate task for a 
fontconfig postinstall script.

Making fontconfig_dtd.sh perpetual may or may not be essential, but it's the 
best way I can think of to solve the problem of this bug report.  Can you 
propose a better way?

If you see a perpetual postinstall script doing something time-consuming that 
you think is unnecessary, please make a bug report.

I've never seen this.  Please give details.
