I am not convinced this is a useful fix. The xorg metapackage already Depends
on these packages, and a desktop system without them *and* without a remote
font server is pretty much broken by the user deliberately. (There are also
-transcoded variants to consider.) Although nearly any X package requires
fonts to operate properly, almost none have such fonts-related Recommends[*], as
those should be handled either by xorg or the corresponding metapackage for the
user's WM of choice.
