conv2 doesn't know that. It assumes you mean a discrete convolution
(where using dirac doesn't really make sense, unless you want a
distribution back). By the time f2 is defined, your dirac has already
gone numeric (i.e., it is 0 or Inf), and any such connection is lost.
Write the integral form instead, with a symbolic x.
