I think it's a difficult issue. DejaVu Sans is a very good font, as is DejaVu Sans Condensed. The former has the advantage of being more extended, which aids readability, and the latter might be slightly more elegant and allows for more information to be shown on the screen.
In any case, a consensus is necessary for such a massive change to occur. Changing the default font is not something that's decided very easily. It will affect every single user in a significant way. A font can make or break the communication with the user, after all. So maybe the right way to go about this change is to start a public debate on the issue.
