Free{Sans,Serif} were broken for some time (huge inter-line spacing),
and at the moment, they don't have an active upstream (which is why they
stayed broken for a while). Fortunately, I think this is going to
change soon. Regardless, they are a high-quality set of fonts, and they
include many glyphs that Vera doesn't have.
Also, the Free{Sans,Serif} fonts look *far* better if you enable the
freetype autohinter; you can do this via fontconfig. The latest
fontconfig packages in unstable do this by default now, but if you have
edited your fontconfig configuration, it has probably not been updated.
Make sure that the following stanza is in /etc/fonts/local.conf or
~/.fonts.conf:
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
