Title:
  Using two different Ubuntu "Sans" fonts is confusing

Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi all,

  In Plucky (and others), fonts-ubuntu package installs two sans fonts families:
  - Ubuntu
  - Ubuntu Sans (default)

  These two families seem to differ only with their spacing (larger, at
  least vertically, for Ubuntu Sans). It makes the fonts choice through
  Tweaks quite confusing.

  The discussion:
  https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-fonts-ubuntu-and-ubuntu-sans/54430/7
  leads me to propose:
  - remove Ubuntu Sans fonts and make Ubuntu to be Ubuntu Sans
  or
  - keep dual naming for compatibility but pointing to the same new Ubuntu Sans version
