Re: [Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#862276: fonts-noto-cjk: I recommend spliting fonts-noto-cjk to make it become targeted and flexible

If your concern is namespace clash, then I don't know if that is the
case - if it is then those packages will need to conflict against each
others, I guess.  Even then I believe it is still beneficial for our
users to be able to choose between
least-diskspace-cover-all-requiring-advanced-OpenType-support and
least-diskspace-cover-only-single-region-working-with-simpler-programs
packages, and I see no other ways to cover both those scenarios.

​I am in no way saying this is the optimal solution, but it *is* at least another way...

Keep Noto CJK as several fonts and package Adobe’s virtually equivalent Source Han as one super OTC.

By the way, Ken Lunde has also made available this amazingly silly super OTC [0][1], in case you are interested!
