wrong font path

from /etc/java-7-openjdk/fontconfig.properties:

filename.DejaVu_Sans=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf

In /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/

DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf
DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf

Doesn't seem to exist in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/ but all of the other fonts point in the correct places.

This white space damaged patch should fix the problem but installing the meta-package instead

Change shoved into bzr branch:

https://code.launchpad.net/~bill-huey/+junk/openjdk7

New patch adds the ttf-dejavu compatibility package to openjdk-7-jre Recommends: to trusty and utopic as well

trusty and utopic should use the new fonts-dejavu name.

ttf-dejavu-extra depends on ttf-dejavu-core, and should be equivalent to ttf-dejavu.

not sure why the changes here are needed.

looking into trusty, I see that the font files are in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/, not in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/, while they are in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/ in precise.
