I'm too interested in a package split. Here at TeX Live packaging we get 
a lot lintian warnings like:

W: texlive-fonts-extra: duplicate-font-file also in (fonts-noto-extra) 
[usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/google/noto/NotoSansMono-SemiBold.ttf]
W: texlive-fonts-extra: duplicate-font-file also in (fonts-noto-extra) 
[usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/google/noto/NotoSansMono-Thin.ttf]

Therefore we declare a dep on these packages and replace it by a 
reference (soft link) to the file. For fonts-noto-extra does not work 
out: replacing 20MB files in a package by a dep on a > 300MB package is 
not really an option.
