Public bug reported: In kodi-data is a hard dependency for fonts-noto-mono and for fonts- noto-hinted. Please, change both fromo Depends to Recommends.
Changing this allow for deinstallation of these two font packages, without breaking package dependencies in case these fonts are provided in another way via TeX Live installation. This mainly concerns Ubuntu users that use Tex Live, which are a lot, especially since Tex Live packages are still not up to date in Debian and Ubuntu. Changing to Recommends allow users to solve font conflicts (in this case the availability of the same font twice) easily and this change in dependency has been done for several other packages for this reason in the last few years.
