Ah! "dejavu sans mono" and "bitstream vera sans mono"
happen to have the same metrics.

I agree. It's possible to implement a code to prefer a font
of the same metrics (e.g. ascent, descent, avgwidth) as the
default one in font-selection. But, for that, Emacs
consumes more memory and time for font finding. And even
with that, people may prefer a different font.
I need more time to consider this problem.
BTW, if you know that you want "dejavu sans mono" for them,
how about using it as the fallback font as this:
(set-fontset-font
"fontset-default" nil
'("dejavu sans mono" . "iso10646-1") nil 'prepend)
It worked in my environment.
