As pointed out by Eugeniy, "Bitstream" should not be used due to license (problem already
reported in the past with #353462). Here's the update

<proposed_version>
Description: Vera font family derivate with additional characters
 Popular FLOSS font based on the vera font family 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. Available flavours
 are Serif, Sans, Sans Mono.
 .
 DejaVu fonts are intended for use on low-resolution devices (mainly computer
 screens) but can be used in printing as well.
</proposed_version>

Davide
