As "Ubuntu" (proportional) and "Ubuntu Mono" have different family names
it would probably make sense to split the binary packages produced into
two .debs built at the same time—this would allow installing one or the
other.  Doing this as a one-off would be painful, but it would be
relatively quick (5–10 minutes to actually change
./debian/{control,*.install} and then an hour or two testing upgrade
testing combinations) to split these at the point of doing the next
release.

It makes sense to do this at the same time as bug #851457, as the rename
to the New Debian Font Standard packaging names requires the same
operations, and this would turn two rounds into a single round.
