That won't work on some systems because various packages hard-depend on the various fonts-noto packages and metapackages. Personally I think Debian should use Recommends instead of Depends for most deps on font packages (including for the Noto fonts), except for things that don't fall back on other fonts, or require specific fonts for aesthetic or other reasons, like games that need fancy fonts, or code needing OCR-friendly fonts etc. $ aptitude search fonts-noto -F %p | xargs pipetty apt rdepends | grep -v ': fonts-noto' fonts-noto Reverse Depends: Recommends: plasma-desktop Depends: libpixelif-common Depends: josm-installer Recommends: task-korean-desktop Recommends: task-chinese-t-desktop Recommends: task-chinese-s-desktop Recommends: plasma-desktop Depends: libpixelif-common Depends: josm Depends: cinnamon-desktop-environment Suggests: fonts-droid-fallback fonts-noto-cjk Reverse Depends: Depends: prusa-slicer Recommends: xml2rfc Recommends: task-korean-desktop Recommends: task-chinese-t-desktop Recommends: task-chinese-s-desktop Suggests: signing-party Depends: openstreetmap-carto-common |Suggests: mlterm Suggests: goby Depends: freeciv-client-sdl Recommends: ddnet-data fonts-noto-cjk-extra Reverse Depends: Suggests: texlive-lang-japanese fonts-noto-color-emoji Reverse Depends: Recommends: dino-im Depends: sxmo-utils Recommends: nheko Depends: texlive-fonts-extra-links Recommends: texlive-fonts-extra Depends: sxmo-utils Depends: supertuxkart-data Recommends: python3-sqt Depends: pango1.0-tests Recommends: gnome-characters Recommends: gajim Depends: fonts-recommended Recommends: emacs-pgtk Recommends: emacs-lucid Recommends: emacs-gtk fonts-noto-core Reverse Depends: Recommends: libreoffice Depends: prusa-slicer Recommends: phosh-osk-stub Recommends: freetype2-doc Recommends: xml2rfc Depends: texlive-fonts-extra-links Recommends: texlive-fonts-extra Recommends: task-sinhala-desktop Depends: supertuxkart-data Depends: request-tracker5 Depends: pango1.0-tests Depends: odoo-16 Depends: qml-module-lomiri-components-labs Depends: qml-module-lomiri-components Depends: lomiri-system-settings Recommends: libreoffice Recommends: freetype2-doc Depends: arctica-greeter |Depends: fontconfig-config Recommends: python3-fabulous fonts-noto-extra Reverse Depends: Recommends: libreoffice Depends: retroarch-assets Recommends: libreoffice fonts-noto-hinted Reverse Depends: Recommends: plasma-integration Depends: prusa-slicer Depends: request-tracker4 Recommends: plasma-integration Depends: openstreetmap-carto-common Recommends: kodi-data fonts-noto-mono Reverse Depends: Depends: buskill Recommends: libreoffice Depends: libpixelif-common Depends: texlive-fonts-extra-links Recommends: texlive-fonts-extra Suggests: signing-party Depends: qml-module-lomiri-components-labs Depends: qml-module-lomiri-components Depends: lomiri-terminal-app Recommends: libreoffice Depends: libpixelif-common Recommends: kodi-data Recommends: fonts-droid-fallback fonts-noto-ui-core Reverse Depends: Recommends: libreoffice Recommends: task-sinhala-desktop Depends: supertuxkart-data Recommends: libreoffice fonts-noto-ui-extra Reverse Depends: fonts-noto-unhinted Reverse Depends: Recommends: xml2rfc Depends: openstreetmap-carto-common -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
