The short description seems to have gotten lost, and instead the long
description starts in the short description.  You previously had:

> Description: Vera font family derivate with additional characters
>  Expanded version of the Vera family aiming for quality and broader

That short description looked good; the long description just needed to stop
using a fragment.

Full copy of the description with those last three changes incorporated:

Description: Vera font family derivate with additional characters
 DejaVu provides an expanded version of the Vera font family aiming for
 quality and broader Unicode coverage while retaining the original Vera
 style. DejaVu currently works towards conformance with the Multilingual
 European Standards (MES-1 and MES-2) for Unicode coverage. The DejaVu
 fonts provide serif, sans and monospaced variants.
 .
 DejaVu fonts are intended for use on low-resolution devices (mainly
 computer screens) but can be used in printing as well.
