This is slightly unrelated, but your email reminded me.
How about we add a %desktop-packages variable? I remember reading a bug
report about possibly ungoogled-chromium or some package not working
properly, because the user did not install a font. Perhaps if people
are using a %desktop, there should be some %desktop-packages that most
users will want installed by default. Packages would include a web
browser, one system font, etc.
