today I noticed that todo-comments does not display the icons (i.e. a
bug symbol for FIXME) in the left signal column if an icon font isn't
installed.
Either fonts-font-awesome or fonts-material-design-icons-iconfont must be a
depends, but I couldn't check which one provides the needed icons.
Thanks for reporting this. No sure if we should hard depend on an font,
as it is possible to disable icons or define individual icons for each
keyword via the config[1]:
{
signs = true, -- show icons in the signs column
...
}
Would it make sense to communicate this via README.Debian or add a
Recommends: section?

I would at least add Recommends. While the plugin works without any icon
font you only get the symbols when those are installed, e.g. a triangle
for warning and a bug for FIXME.
