Yes, it does. From the man page:

--no-pre-depends, --no-depends, --no-recommends, --no-suggests, --no-conflicts, --no-breaks, --no-replaces, --no-enhances
           Per default the depends and rdepends print all dependencies. This can be tweaked with these flags which will omit the specified
           dependency type. Configuration Item: APT::Cache::ShowDependencyType e.g.  APT::Cache::ShowRecommends.

I wouldn't even need a Suggestion to install such a meta-package.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong (or not doing it),
as I have just installed all the fonts available in
buster that match fonts-recommended/bullseye, including
fonts-noto-color-emoji, and yet:

$ dpkg -l | grep emoji
ii  fonts-noto-color-emoji    0~20180810-1    all    color emoji font from Google
ii  fonts-symbola             2.60-1          all    symbolic font providing emoji characters from Unicode 9.0
$ fc-list noto
$ fc-match noto
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
$ 

Nothing changes from my previous post: four monochrome emojis.
(I take Celejar's point, that correct installation and
implementation would cause the first two to combine.)

Cheers,
David.

Yeah - that was just to give a sense of context and scale for the rest.

That'd probably be because you only have one of the fonts-noto-*
packages installed, whereas I have four of them (and we don't have any
overlap).

Going a bit beyond this for more context:

$ apt-file search /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/ | wc -l
2380

(So my 1847 is about three-fourths of the total, assuming no collisions.
I did also verify that every item in this count is named as being a TTF
file.)

$ apt-file search /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/ | cut -d ':' -f 1 | uniq
fonts-noto-color-emoji
fonts-noto-core
fonts-noto-extra
fonts-noto-mono
fonts-noto-ui-core
fonts-noto-ui-extra

Per the above, I have four of those installed: core, extra, mono, and
ui-core. By contrast, you appear to have only one installed:
color-emoji, which (according to 'apt-file show') appears to contain
only one font file - the one you reported from fc-list, above.

In my case, I got tired of seeing the "tofu" (without, I think, ever
learning that term), and went out of my way to install fonts to provide
as much coverage as I could manage. I appear to have missed one or two,
but I haven't seen any missing glyphs in rather a while.

As I don't really care to mess with a working system, perhaps someone
else without the Noto fonts can post their before and after results.

I see that gnome-core depends on gnome-characters which, in turn,
recommends fonts-noto-color-emoji and I have Aptitude configured to
install Recommends automatically.  So here the noto package shows to be
automatically installed so I guess I got the functionality "for free" by
using Gnome.

These three are from fonts-noto-mono.

> /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoColorEmoji.ttf: Noto Color Emoji:style=Regular

This one is from fonts-noto-color-emoji.

For comparison, according to a quick naive check I just ran, the
TrueType font-file counts per noto package are as follows:

fonts-noto-core: 268
fonts-noto-extra: 1540
fonts-noto-hinted: 0
fonts-noto-mono: 3
fonts-noto-ui-core: 36
fonts-noto-ui-extra: 532
fonts-noto-unhinted: 0
fonts-noto-cjk: 0
fonts-noto-cjk-extra: 0
fonts-noto-color-emoji: 1

I too use Sylpheed and get tofu. I must have mistakenly assumed emoji
fonts would be installed by default hence this being a Sylpheed
limitation. Thanks for enlightening!

Same issue with Sylpheed on Windows by the way, wonder if the same
solution would work...

I use Gnus.  I've never manually installed any emoji fonts (or any other
fonts) but I see the glyphs, not the tofu.

What does

Sorry - see my other message in this thread. So you clearly have the
Noto fonts installed. They're not essential packages, so something you
installed must have brought them in, if you didn't do so manually.

Sorry, Sylpheed's reply-to-list puts your email address in the CC field
- perhaps because you set an explicit reply-to header? I'll take it out
in the future.

Questions like this remind me how little I understand font handling.
I read mail in mutt in xterm in fvwm in X, currently in buster, and
I see four glyphs. If I save the email in a file, then I see the
same glyphs in less etc. The font that I'm using in the xterm is
fonts-hack/fonts-hack-otf/fonts-hack-ttf/fonts-hack-web, whichever
of those is pulled in by   xterm -fa hack -fs 16 ….

If I type  xfd -fa hack, I can only display as far as 0x00feff,
which is far short of all but LOWER RIGHT PENCIL, and even that
glyph is displayed in xfd as an empty box. So it would appear
that something is performing font substitution in the xterm.
Hack is a pretty sparsely populated font AIUI.

A windowed   emacs -fn terminus-18   displays the pencil, and
replaces the others by boxes containing the appropriate hex
codes, 01f471, 01f3fb, and 01f517.

xfd -fn terminus-18   displays the pencil's glyph as ? (and
doesn't display a sufficient range to reach the others).

Running less in   xterm -fn terminus-18, I get a single-width
blank space for the pencil, and double-width ? for the others.

In case it matters, /etc/default/console-setup contains
  CHARMAP="UTF-8"
  CODESET="Uni2"
  FONTFACE="Terminus"
  FONTSIZE="16x32"

A VC displays solid diamonds for all of them.

I do have some noto packages installed (fonts-noto-hinted pulls
in fonts-noto-core, fonts-noto-mono and fonts-noto-ui-core in
buster), but don't know what's in them. When I use xfd on them,
it always displays DejaVu instead, and   fc-list noto
returns nothing. (fonts-recommended is new in bullseye.)

I wrote /four/ glyphs, but it sounds as if Celejar sees three,
the first one being coloured with some sort of skin tone. My
second glyph, 🏻, is a half-tone box with three lines of dots
inside, of 3, 4 and 3 dots.

Cheers,
David.

I assume that the reason I see three and you see four is that the first
one (of my three) consists of a combination of the basic "blond haired
person" glyph plus a "light skin tone" modifier glyph, which are
presumably ideally supposed to be displayed together:

I know you've solved your issue with another way but, just out of curiosity, could the following command help your system to read your modified /etc/fstab file?

systemctl daemon-reload

Honestly I don't know, I think I issued that command before finding the
solution, but I'm not sure. I think I rebooted the system so that
command most probably was executed without effect.

Create a LABEL on that FAT partition, then create a noauto by-label fstab entry
for it. Optionally, create a noauto fstab entry using the FAT filesystem's UUID.
Using the LABEL method, you can reuse it on any other sticks you don't want
automounted, as long as you're not going to attach more than one stick with that
label at a time. e.g., make the label NOAUTOMOUNT.
