Malcolm, I /think/:

  Fullname: Ubuntu Light, Ubuntu Medium, Ubuntu Light Italic, Ubuntu Medium Italic, Ubuntu Condensed

  Family: Ubuntu Light, Ubuntu Light. Ubuntu Light, Ubuntu Light, Ubuntu Condensed
  Style: Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic, Regular

  Preferred Family: Ubuntu, Ubuntu, Ubuntu, Ubuntu, Ubuntu
  Preferred Style: Light, Medium, Light Italic, Medium Italic, Condensed

If I understand correctly, this should mean that in the menus should appear:

  Traditional user/simple app: Ubuntu (x4), Ubuntu Light (x4), Ubuntu Mono (x4), Ubuntu Condensed (x1)
  Designer/advanced app: Ubuntu (x9), Ubuntu Mono (x4)

This would give us something to test and if it doesn't (I very much take David's comments in #5 on board) we can re-assess. The use-case for the above is that a user starts setting in Ubuntu, finds it a bit heavy and wants to ratchet back a notice, so selects-all and switches to "Ubuntu Light" and the bolds gets knocked down proportionally.
