Actually, it should really not be a big deal to solve this problem 90% of the
way. A heuristic could be applied ex-post-facto, i.e. after import, to consider
possible split-ups of phrases like "LiberationSerif" or "DavidCLMNormal"; to
see whether any of them match an actual font family; and to prefer the split-up
form if the original form is not a known font family. This could in principle
get some cases wrong (maybe there are font families FooBold and Foo with a Bold
variant for example) - but the errors will be minor relative to the majority of
cases. A more fundamental solution may require a lot of work.

I think a "prioritizing list" of annoyances belongs on the tracker/meta-bug
page of PDF import and export filters. I mean, I'm not saying you're wrong, or
that this issue is the most important one regarding PDFs (it isn't); but - this
is the page for a single issue, not for everything else, even if our discussion
has veered off track :-)
