    This is a prerequisite for a version update for fonts-montserrat.

    This also seems relevant to Kirill Rekhov's work on packaging GNOME's fonts-adwaita for forky - if I understand correctly, Adwaita Sans is a
    "frozen" variant of fonts-inter-variable, while Adwaita Mono is a
    "frozen" variant of the as-yet-unpackaged Iosevka font.
