Ah, sounds like the answer is that one should use "sans" and "serif",
then. :)

Now that I check, it looks like currently each package that Provides:
ttf-japanese-gothic or -mincho offers a file like

	/usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts-japanese-gothic.ttf

through the alternatives system.  I believe the virtual package name
list should mention that, because other packages could be relying on
it now or in the future.  Any new package that Provides: one of these
package names should be registering itself with update-alternatives,
too, for consistency.

Thanks for clarifying.
