It's obviously not a setup problem, I think. It looks more like there is initially on a debian install no monospaced font to provide Cyrillic characters (Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Mongolian?) – or you've missed to install support for Russian. After installing Linux Libertine you have Cyrillic monospaced characters and so libfontconfig recommends to use Libertine.
Other options are the GNU Freefonts and particularly DejaVu (based on Bitstream Vera), or the RedHat/Fedora Liberation fonts.
