As far as I can tell, gnome-desktop doesn't include explicit (default or 
otherwise) fonts either.

Shouldn't a good/default set of monospace/sans/serif fonts get pulled in 
from somewhere, somehow?  Am I missing something?

Would be going too far to be adding to (to some/all) font-providing 
packages, something like:
Provides: monospace-fonts
Provides: sans-fonts

and Requires's these somewhere?  (an initial/naive choice might be in 
fontconfig perhaps)
