I am planning to have same fonts name, so one can simply install
other
packages and replace the existing one.
Frankly, if the rift is deep enough there's no hope of producing a Liberation version
that satisfies everyone, it would be better to have to different family names, with
fontconfig substitution rules that make each one a valid replacement for the other if
it's not installed on the system.
The fontconfig rules will keep software happy and the different names will force humans to
take a choice instead of talking past one another like is the case right now.
