Bug Description

If `ibus-data` is removed or not present, there are no visible emoji in the emoji selector ( ibus-ui-emojier-plasma ) no matter if the `fonts-noto-color-emoji` package is present.

This should be added as a hard dependency for the package.

$ lsb_release -rd

Alright, a change in fontconfig broke emojis.

cd /etc/fonts/conf.d && \
rm -f 70-no-bitmaps.conf

Fixes them in noble. Sorting out doing this on install...
