RFS[2]: ttf-dejavu -- bistream vera derivate with additional characters
Hello,
I'm still seeking a sponsor for my package. I screwed up some things in the
first RFS but I hope everything's fine this time.

Updated package info:
Package : ttf-dejavu
Version : 1.5
Licence : Bitstream Vera Fonts Copyright
Upstream Author: Stepan Roh <src@srnet.cz>
Project URL : http://dejavu.sf.net/
Binary Package : http://web.naex.sk/pce/ttf-dejavu/ttf-dejavu_1.5-1_all.deb
Source Package : http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/ttf-dejavu/
The fonts are based on the Vera family, but they also cover quite a lot of
chars needed by the non-English folks. Currently there is support for Czech,
Slovak, Welsh, Polish and Romanian languages and languages using Cyrillic
characters. There is also a screenshot showing some of the new chars:
