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.
