I'd also like to express my frustration with this decision.  I'm quite
happy using DejaVu now, but I can't help but feel a little upset that I
had to go to a good deal of trouble figuring out why my favorite
programming font went away because someone else felt that its
availability Vera did little more than clutter up their font list.

I support the rationale behind moving toward DejaVu, but I don't see any
reason to not have the Vera available for those who choose to install
it.

It would also be nice if apt-get/packages.ubuntu.com/etc. made it easier
to find out why a package is missing, but this would probably be better
discussed in another bug.  (One simple fix I can think of is putting
"bitstream vera" in the ttf-dejavu-* package descriptions so searching
for "bitstream" will cause these fonts to show up in Synaptic)
