Here's the best I could come up with so far:

<proposed_version>
Description: Vera font family derivate with additional characters
 Popular FLOSS font based on the Bitstream Vera version 1.10 with
 the aim to provide a wider range of characters while maintaining the
 original look and feel. The main goals are quality and range coverage;
 current direction is towards MES-1 and MES-2 conformance.
 .
 DejaVu fonts are intended for use on low-resolution devices (mainly computer
 screens) but can be used in printing as well.
</proposed_version>

Just for future reference, here's the list of links o consulted:

http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dejavu_font
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts/DejavuFeedbackCall

I also looked at the desciption used by other distros, and funnily enough the
Debian description currently used is the only one differing from the others (and
I'm not counting Ubuntu...)

regards,
Davide
