You have raised very valid point. Monospace font can be either serif or
sans. i.e. mono-serif or mono-sans. Have not seen this in fontconfig.
Coming to alias file for liberation-mono-fonts says only.
<alias binding="same">
<family>Courier New</family>
<accept>
<family>Liberation Mono</family>
</accept>
</alias>
might be alias file 45-latin.conf causing said issue?
