Re: [RFC]refactor Noto CJK fonts packaging

Hi,

Thanks Marguerite!

Here are my quick comments.

1. Package naming
- According to font package naming rule, the prefix is not "-font" but "-fonts"
- "noto-sans-*-mono-fonts" should be "noto-sans-mono-cjk-*" from the naming rule?
- I am wondering if the prefix "-mini" is appropriate for our case.
   It is used, for example, in "systemd-mini", as an minimal *alternative* of the package
   without "-mini".

2. Meta packages
- I am not sure "noto-sans-cjk-*-fonts-mini" meta packages are really necessary.
- We need noto-sans-cjk-fonts package, which "Requires" all those fonts for upgrading
   (even though this requires much disk space)
- The meta packages does not need "%reconfigure_fonts_prereq"


I will try to hack fonts-config on vacation next week.
