$ fc-list | grep noto
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoSansMono-Regular.ttf: Noto Sans 
Mono:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoSansMono-Bold.ttf: Noto Sans Mono:style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoMono-Regular.ttf: Noto Mono:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoColorEmoji.ttf: Noto Color 
Emoji:style=Regular

As I don't really care to mess with a working system, perhaps someone
else without the Noto fonts can post their before and after results.

I see that gnome-core depends on gnome-characters which, in turn,
recommends fonts-noto-color-emoji and I have Aptitude configured to
install Recommends automatically.  So here the noto package shows to be
automatically installed so I guess I got the functionality "for free" by
using Gnome.
