Charles, if the fix for this bug is simply adding a depends on ttf-bitstream-vera, then the fix is suitable for lenny, and we'll happily unblock it. I'm however adjusting the severity, because I don't think this constitutes a RC bug: the package may be missing a dependency that prevents some parts of the program from working, but AFAICR most of the program works without it. Please correct me if I'm wrong. That a bug is nasty doesn't meen it's RC.
