[Pkg-fonts-bugs] Bug#406741: [ttf-dejavu] package description in debian/control is outdated

Package: ttf-dejavu
Version: 2.13-1
Severity: minor

Current version of the packages supports far more ranges than the ones
listed in the debian/control; I discussed this on #dejavu and here's the 
list of (hopefully all) non-mentioned renges:

Lao, Armenian, Vietnamese, IPA, African Reference Alphabet and Canadian Syllabics

Here follow the current versoin of the description, and how I'd change it for the next
version; improvements are welcome

regards,
Davide

Description: Vera font family derivate with additional characters
 These fonts are based on the famous Vera font family adding better support
 for non-English languages. They currently fully cover Latin Ext-A, Latin
 Ext-B, Cyrillic and Greek ranges and also parts of Arabic, Hebrew and some
 other ranges.
 .
 DejaVu fonts are intended for use on low-resolution devices (mainly computer
 screens) but can be used in printing as well.
