4. By far most packages which Require dejavu-*-fonts seem to Require
the
dejavu-sans-fonts package, so how about adding an /usr/share/fonts/dejavu
symlink to /usr/share/fonts/dejavu-sans-fonts, this will fix the issues for
apps relying on the file-path to the fonts in most cases. This reduces the
list of apps which needs to be checked and potentially fixed because they
rely on the serif or mono version to 24 pkgs, which is a lot better then 59.
Particularly for F32, considering how late this "Change" landed,
adding compat symlinks for dejavu at least seems a reasonable request to me.

Sure, but here we have the case where <langcode> is not defined
(the package
wants some default fonts installed, it does not care which ones, as long as
some default is installed).
What dep should the package use in this case? I can add the generic answer
to this question to guidelines, but I need an answer i18n, as maintainer of
the distribution default font lists, is comfortable with
Well as of F32 'font(:lang=en)' is provided by langpacks-core-font-en, which
will pull in dejavu-sans-fonts.
I think currently that is the best option/answer (not that we want to privilege
'en' particularly...
basically for all major European languages/scripts I believe we default to
dejavu).
We can think about a better/more correct answer for F33 perhaps, but it is
tricky.
In terms of orthography English is really the lowest common denominator I
think.
Better take this to a separate discussion: feel free to open a langpacks bug to
discuss this more.
