No response in nearly a year. This is extremely frustrating.

To clarify the above comment, this is not really about saving disk
space, per se. Rather, the point is that in this case, the "shared
library" approach wastes space, which completely defeats the purpose.
The real frustration for ordinary users is that when packages like this
pull in large collections of fonts, they pollute the font lists of
applications like LibreOffice. The kneejerk response I've seen is "you
should disable them with a font manager", but the current options are
defunct (fontmatrix) or so broken as to be unusable (Gnome and KDE's
font managers).
