Comment 9 for bug 1746310

> Gunnar, Kubuntu and Lubuntu Next are free to install fonts-symbola if they want. (But they should really talk to Qt about getting color emoji support working everywhere too!)

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 there. Favoring the package that works with GTK apps and not Qt apps, then saying that the Qt flavors can install fonts-symbola if they want, makes me want to say the same to the GTK flavors about fonts-noto-color-emoji.

> The benefit of installing Noto Color Emoji by default is so that color emoji will work out of the box with any GTK+ app (with a few exceptions like Chromium, Firefox and LibreOffice). Color Emoji is advertised as an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS feature.

What about desktops that don't install GTK apps by default (Lubuntu Next)? I echo my comment above that it should be all or nothing here.

> The benefit of not installing Symbola by default is that it's unneeded.

I thought it was needed for Qt apps?
