As I understand it, this will make fontconfig select DejaVu Sans Mono

and not fonts-dejavu-{core,mono}.
That's my understanding too.
Thus, the default font for the "Monospace" alias will depend on the
installed packages.
That's always the case, isn't it? The output of "fc-match" or "fc-match
mono" depends on a combo of available fonts and the font configuration.
As an example, and since I work with Ubuntu as well, Ubuntu 23.04 also
has fontconfig 2.14, but most users haven't noticed since
fonts-noto-core is not installed by default (neither is the libreoffice
binary, which explains the difference to Debian in this respect). Ubuntu
23.10 will include fonts-noto-core, though, so there is an ongoing work
with deciding both the set of pre-installed font packages and possible
adjustments of the configuration.
I'm okay with that.
Good. :)
Thanks for fixing it :)
N.p.
Yes, let's see what users think of the change. I have good hope that
most people will be satisfied.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.
