If the source of all fonts bundled as fonts-noto is truly the same, then it makes good sense to me to continue redistribute in Debian as a single source package as we do now. If additionally the size of the bundle becomes 400+MB then it makes good sense to me to split into multiple binary packages. If, however, the upstream really is a bundling of sources actually developed elsewhere, then preferrably we should track those other sources directly - and eventually (if there is any benefit for Debian in doing so) keep the fonts-noto package as a metapackage pulling in all those other packages which together becomes same as what Google calls the "noto" bundle of fonts. In other words: I see no need to wait for upstream to split into multiple sub-parts - upstream may not have same needs as Debian for separation. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
