Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: inkscape

Originally, Inkscape used Bitstream-Vera-Sans as its default font so the
Debian package used "Suggests: ttf-bitstream-vera"

We then made an Ubuntu specific change to "Suggests: ttf-dejavu" when
the ttf-bitstream-vera package was deleted (LP: #513319)

Now, with version 0.48.0, Inkscape has replaced its default font with a
generic "sans" so there is no point in us keeping the ttf-dejavu
dependency
