Looking at the upstream git log [1] the fontconfig part should be fixed
since saucy.

Bug description:
How to fix the problem:
See comments on wrong Ubuntu Light font family being specified in
the information of Ubuntu-M.ttf.
You can fix the problem manually by installing fontforge program,
going to Open dialog, navigating in it to /usr/share/fonts/truetype
/ubuntu-font-family/ and opening Ubuntu-M.ttf. In Element - Font
Info, you can fix the family on the first page, and then export the
font with File - Generate Fonts, selecting the type TrueType. Save
to somewhere in your home folder first, accept the warnings, then in a
terminal window / command line type:
sudo mv Ubuntu-M.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
Attached to this bug report is also a branch of the Ubuntu packaging
that includes this manually modified Ubuntu-M.ttf, since the sources
seem not to be editable with free tools.
Original description:
After installing the Ubuntu Font 0.80-0ubuntu3+console from quantal I
have the added Medium font weight:-
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-B.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-RI.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-MI.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-LI.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-RI.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-M.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-BI.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-B.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-L.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-C.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-BI.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-R.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-R.ttf
If I install this font and choose Ubuntu Light in LibreOffice, it
actually picks the Medium font weight. If I remove the medium font
weight files and restart LibreOffice it chooses the right weight
again. It seems related to bug 744812.
Screenshots show the issue.
