I just fixed the 'Requires:' that were causing broken deps a few days
ago to match the new 'Provides:', but it appears that the naming for
the provides has changed *yet again*.   

Why wasn't the change done in one hit to avoid all these extra
rebuilds?  Rather than (as it appears to have been done):

bitstream-vera-fonts ->  bitstream-vera-fonts-sans
bitstream-vera-fonts-sans -> bitstream-vera-sans-fonts
