Right. that sounds realistic to me. that also reduces the maintainance
cost for default fonts rather than providing defaultfont(:lang=xx)
dependency in each fonts packages. though this way may pulls in extra
packges installing. for instance, when someone intentionally stopped
installing a package langpack-xx provides for some reason.
