+Subject: [PATCH] fontconfig: remove generic name assignment and aliasing
+
+This removes the generic name assignment and the generic name aliasing
+rules for the three standard DejaVu Sans, Sans-Mono and Serif fonts.
+
+These rules are redundant as they are already in the fontconfig
+upstream config files 45-latin.conf and 60-latin.conf, respectively,
+for at least 10 years now, c.f.:
+
+https://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/conf.d/45-latin.conf?id=4b51f173c99152586db26b03752873a4b4020672
+https://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/conf.d/60-latin.conf?id=6c5619a08575943f75d2341e1a4931ec5faf716b
+
+We have a bug report in Debian from a user who complains that he
+changed the preference for the default sans-serif font in the expected
+rule, i.e. 60-latin.conf, and was confused when his change was
+overridden by fonts-dejavu's own rule in 57-dejavu-sans.conf:
+
+https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=753401
+
+The reporter confirms that removing the offending lines from the
+config files in the fonts-dejavu package causes the intended changes
+applied to the 60-latin.conf file to take effect.
+
+Thanks for considering!
