The actual issue appears to be in fonts-dejavu-extra, but it won't let
me select that.

Title:
  DejaVu Oblique variants not installed by default

Status in fonts-dejavu package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, new install (well, as of a few months ago),
  italic/oblique variants just weren't installed by default. In some
  programs this resulted in text not showing, in others it resulted in
  those square boxes that indicate no font installed showing. The issue
  is in fonts-dejavu-extra which apparently doesn't exist in Ubuntu, so
  I've selected I don't know, even though I have a damn good idea.

  The only way to fix this that I quickly found is to install the
  "transitional dummy package" that "can be safely removed" ttf-dejavu-
  extra. With this package installed, all the variants of DejaVu are
  installed. With it removed, the problem occurs.

  This package installs the extra font DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf: "DejaVu
  Sans" "Oblique".

  I present the output of some commands to demonstrate the issue:
