In comparing the source files for ttf-dejavu on gutsy and hardy, it
appears the issue is that the debian/ttf-dejavu-extra.defoma-hints file
for Gutsy had a fix from Arne to correct Oblique vs Italic for Serif
fonts, which is missing on Hardy. On hardy it appears the package was
sync'd to debian without merging the ubuntu patch.
Assigning to Arne to investigate further. It appears that the changes
he made for Ubuntu in Gutsy need to be ported to the Hardy version of
the package (and perhaps pushed back up to Debian).
