Some society has apparently noticed that the dejavu-fonts.org domain
was no longer renewed and purchased it in 2018 for the *only* reason
to get connections from users who expect something else. This is a
malicious activity. For this reason, I'm raising the severity.

The copyright file has the same issues and needs to be updated too.

The /usr/share/doc/fonts-dejavu-core/README.md file is also obsolete.
It mentions http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/ , which redirects to
http://dejavu-fonts.org/ , so that this is no better.

Ditto for /usr/share/doc/fonts-dejavu-core/BUGS.
