Package: fonts-noto-core

Since a while Noto is the default font for latin scripts in
fontconfig-config:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/commit/ad70d785
The Debian fontconfig-config package includes an alternative Depends
list with reasonably complete base font packages, enforcing at least one
of those packages to be installed in order to prevent a broken system.
At my suggestion fonts-noto-core was recently prepended to that list:
https://salsa.debian.org/freedesktop-team/fontconfig/-/commit/5aa10dde
However, as was pointed out in <https://bugs.debian.org/1028897#44>, I
overlooked that fonts-noto-core does not include monospace fonts, i.e.
it does not really qualify as a complete base font package. To address
that issue, I suggest that fonts-noto-mono is added to Depends in
fonts-noto-core.
An alternative solution might be to create a meta package, e.g.
fonts-noto-base, which would depend on fonts-noto-core and
fonts-noto-mono, and replace fonts-noto-core with fonts-noto-base in the
Depends list of fontconfig-config. Personally I think that would be to
overdo it, though.
