Chrome/Chromium use "Thin" as default font weight

Status in fonts-noto-cjk source package in Xenial:

Bug description:
[Impact]
Chromium and Google Chrome use "Thin" as the default Noto Sans CJK
font weight, which makes some Chinese and Japanese web pages difficult
to read, and thus gives a bad user experience.
The fonts-noto-cjk version in the PPA
https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/fonts-noto-cjk
installs 7 weight specific font files instead of a single "super"
file. This works around the Chromium/Chrome issue.
Note: It has been fixed in yakkety via autosync, so "backporting"
yakkety (as an SRU) instead of uploading from the PPA is an option.
[Test Case]
To reproduce the bug:
* Install Chromium or Google Chrome.
* Go to <http://www.gamer.com.tw> and notice the very thin characters.
* Install fonts-noto-cjk from the PPA and notice the difference.
[Regression Potential]
This is about another font packaging form, without any change in glyph
coverage, so the the regression risk should be low.
[Original description]
The package seems to only "thin" variant of the font, which makes it
very unreadable in applications such as Chrome (when it has to fall
back on Chinese fonts on a mostly-English page). I had to remove the
package and then manually download the font from Google website and
install it to make the regular weight available
Release: 16.04 LTS
Package Version: 1.004+repack1-1
Expected: All weights of the noto cjk font to be installed
Happened: Only the "thin" weight of the font seems to be installed
