First, strictly speaking fonts-liberation and fonts-liberation2 aren't
only two versions of the same font, but in fact tw different fonts.
Apart from the fact that both get installed into two different
locations in the file system (obviously), the v1 package contains one
more font family than the v2 package, i.e. Sans Narrow.

Second, what causes the situation that both fonts are installed at the
same time? Is it package dependencies and if yes, which packages cause
this? Because, well apart from Sans Narrow, there is no technical
reason to have both versions installed at the same time.

Cheers,

 - Fabian
