The regression is obvious as one sees by quickly switching between:

http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/gtk-frontend/screenshots/20070202_dejavu2.14/ro.png

However, I don't see this as RC. The "a breve" glyph seems still
readable to me.

I would suggest authorizing the package for testing and leave Davide
(and upstream DejaVu maitnainers) a chance to find a patch to fix the
"a breve" issue with a new release containing just this fix.

Either the fix is found and the new version gets hinted for
testing...or it is not and the current 2.14 seems OK to me as its
advantages are obvious for other languages. Just compare the
readability:

This advice should however be backed up by Frans.
