I think that a package like kanatest which needs to indicate by Japanese
needs to depend on a Japanese font package.
When pakcage maintainer does not know what kind of Japanese font
should have set,
this virtual package works effectively.
When this is set, a Japanese package of best quality is installed.
And most application works for the cause by setting of fontconfig.
This work does not depend on ttf-japanese-{gothic,mincho}.
Best regards,
Nobuhiro
