Thaht's very strange because there is patch (102_dejavu_font.diff)
specifically for that. It replace freefont/FreeSerifBold.ttf by
ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf.
And the log from the build server indicates that the patch as been
applied successfully.

So could you check what really is in the freetype module with the
following command:
strings /usr/lib/vlc/misc/libfreetype_plugin.so|grep /usr/share/font
