Dear Maintainer,

Emojis show up in black and white in the KDE Plasma emoji selector
`plasma-emojier`, but they display just fine in other programs.

This is happening on 2 different computers on Debian testing (trixie).

Folks at KDE suggest that this is a font config issue (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483489).

I have tried making a /etc/fonts/local.conf file as suggested in the
above bug report, but that did not help.

The issue appeared at some point between late Feb and mid March.

Many thanks.

retitle 1066933 should recommend fonts-noto-color-emoji for plasma-emojier
thanks

This package should at least recommend fonts-noto-color-emoji so that plasma-
emojier can work correctly.  It's probably best to depend on it so things just
work without user intervention.

The 10.5MB of disk space used by the fonts is small when compared to
everything else that plasma does and just avoiding the confusion is worth it.
