No, bug#983291 is about font *selection* being painful, whereas this is
about font *installation* being painful.

For the record, my plan is to provide binary script-specific *-core and
*-extra packages corresponding with each upstream source package, and
let binary metapackages fonts-noto and fonts-noto-core depend on those
to effectively behave same as now.

Therefore, do *not* expect fonts-noto-core to be any lighter.  After
all, the very main purpose of the Noto font is to have "no tofu", not to
please only e.g. latin-script-users.
