That's a bizarre dependency. DejaVu is a modern, supported and heavily maintained superset of the anachronism that is Vera, so as long as DejaVu is installed or installable, Vera should be not be required.
Yes. But from some points of view DejaVu is not as "good".
Do you have anything to document that? Do you know what superset means? DejaVu's available charset is vastly larger, and continues to grow, since it's FOSS and under constant development.
It will be a sad day when Bitstream Vera is unavailable because it is considered an anachronism.
It's an anachronism because it's development ceased years ago. I've not installed it on any system in several years. Few if any would be able to detect any difference between http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/Font/font-vera.html loaded on a Vera-only system and a DejaVu-only system.
