Bug Description

I was initially using :
fonts-beng-extra/impish,impish,now 1.0-7 version and moved to using
fonts-beng-extra/jammy,jammy,now 3.2.1-1

I see the difference for my concerned font is as below:
+* Converted mitra.ttf(0.70) to mitramono.ttf(0.80)

What is expected?
 --> With the older mitra.ttf present in fonts-beng-extra:1.0-7, the output was:
$ fc-match mitra
MitraMono.ttf: "Mitra" "Regular"

$ fc-match mitramono
mitra.ttf: "Mitra Mono" "Regular"

What happened instead?
--> However with the mitramono.ttf present in fonts-beng-extra:3.2.1-1, I see :
$fc-match mitra
MitraMono.ttf: "Mitra" "Regular"

$ fc-match mitramono
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"

Not sure if this mapping is intentional?

More Info:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

The name of Mitra was changed to Mintramono to avoid confusion with a proprietory Nastaliq font call mitra. The mon suffix was added to indicate it is a monospaced font.
