Comment 1 for bug 1916319

Thanks for your report. It seems to be an offshoot from <https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/20924>.

Please note that the fonts-noto packaging happens at Debian, so Debian is a more proper place to bring up this discussion.

I see the old bug <https://bugs.debian.org/756456>. Actually, the fonts-noto package is a meta package which pulls a bunch of binaries:

$ apt depends fonts-noto
fonts-noto
  Depends: fonts-noto-core
  Recommends: fonts-noto-cjk
  Recommends: fonts-noto-cjk-extra
  Recommends: fonts-noto-color-emoji
  Recommends: fonts-noto-extra
  Recommends: fonts-noto-mono
  Recommends: fonts-noto-ui-core
  Recommends: fonts-noto-ui-extra
  Recommends: fonts-noto-unhinted

But since your request is about splitting fonts-noto-core further, I don't think the old Debian bug applies, so you'd better submit a new one.
