I don't think that's necessary.  At least for freetype/libxft, as long
as DejaVu is aliased to sans font in fontconfig, even if it's after
Vera, freetype/libxft will try to find a glyph that doesn't exist in
Vera in later aliases to sans.  And if the user has installed DejaVu,
they'll see the glyphs in DejaVu (but not in Vera) when they specify
sans font.
