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.

Version 1.5-1 is built from sfd sources.

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:

Thanks.
