gnustep-back-common depends specifically on Bitstream Vera (and freefont)
because it provides .nfont files for those fonts.  In the next version,
gnustep-back will use defoma to generate the .nfont files, and the use
of the .nfont files from gnustep-back-common will be deprecated.

At that time, I'll probably make gnustep-back0.10 Recommends: or
Suggests: various useful font packages.

(Yes, I agree that ttf-dejavu is better.)
