consistent to change that to:
Recommends: fonts-noto-core | fonts-lohit-deva
fonts-noto-core covers "all" scripts, so with that package
installed there shouldn't be a need to install fonts-lohit-deva.
(And for many non-latin scripts Noto offers better quality than the
other non-latin font packages in the archive.)
For Malayalam, we prefer traditional script font by default. Noto
Malayalam coverage is not in traditional script.
Noted. So if we ever get that far, let's not touch the
task-malayalam-desktop package.
And @FC Stegerman: Point taken. :) The reason why I talk so little about
CJK is that fonts-noto-cjk appears to be the obvious choice for CJK
scripts nowadays.
