Public bug reported:
This package is 230MB in current Ubuntu 16.04, but looks like its up to
700 MB in upcoming versions. Is there anything that can be done to
improve the granularity of this, for example by packaging fonts
separately by name, and then having a metapackage that groups them all
to provide the current behaviour where required?
For example, when installing 'python-sympy', does it *really* need all
of these 200+ MB of fonts? Seems very unlikely, but current packaging
gives no way round.
