If freetype2-demos does what its name suggests, then this might be
in-scope for the non-package-specific build profile noinsttest ("Disable
binary packages consisting entirely of automated tests, manual tests,
example/demo programs and test tools"). The scope of noinsttest is a bit
wider than its name suggests, because "as-installed" automated tests
like gtk-4-tests and examples/demos/manual tests like gtk-4-examples
seem like they have quite a lot in common.

However, I see there are other packages that depend on freetype2-demos,
which makes it unclear to me whether freetype2-demos *only* contains
demos, or whether it also contains general-purpose utilities analogous to
the ones in libglib2.0-bin (which would be out-of-scope for noinsttest).
