Title:
Drop
There were a few responses on the ubuntu-release mailing list.
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
release/2018-February/004283.html
It looks like we're going to drop fonts-symbola from desktop-common.
Flavors are free to install fonts-noto-color-emoji themselves if they
like since Kubuntu
Without checking, I don't think Ubuntu Studio have any objections.

I don't think that's the point; if we're talking about inclusion in
desktop-common, support for Qt *and* GTK needs to be
I'm on a slippery slope here; should probably have kept quiet. But it
was your mentioning of qt which triggered me to post a couple of
comments, since people tend to use some qt apps also in Ubuntu.
Anyway, my view in comment #1 still stands. ;)

Gunnar, could you test the apps before saying we need Symbola?
Firefox, Chromium, and LibreOffice don't need Symbola. Firefox uses an
embedded version of EmojiOne currently. Chromium will probably
eventually support Noto.
See https://community.ubuntu.com/t/try-color-emoji-in-18-04/1492/23 and
24
Also Ubuntu users install qt apps, don't they? And FF and LO are
important exceptions. The archive size of fonts-symbola is 1.2 MiB.
How about including both in desktop-common for now?

The benefit of installing Noto Color Emoji by default is so that color
emoji will work out of the box with any GTK+ app
I agree with Gunnar, I'm -1 with both my Lubuntu and Kubuntu hats on if
this means a regression for Qt-based desktops.

If qt does not support fonts-noto-color-emoji, replacing would be a
regression, especially for Kubuntu, and may not be a good idea. I
understand that the packages don't conflict to each other. What's the
drawback with keeping it as is for now, and install both packages in
Ubuntu?

It's a transitional package now depending on fonts-symbola.
