Given that we already have Times as an alias to sans-serif (as on a
Debian testing box, sorry for not having Ubuntu box handy):
    <alias>
        ...
        <family>Times</family>
        ...
        <default><family>serif</family></default>
    </alias>
    ...
    <alias>
        <family>serif</family>
        <prefer>
            ...
            <family>Times</family>
            ...
        </prefer>
    </alias>
I think we can safely delete these alias to URW fonts.

Or do you mean we should have something like
    <alias>
        <family>Times</family>
        <accept><family>sans-serif</family></accept>
    </alias>
?  I'm not sure that's a good idea, as it really looks like circular
dependency.
