Upstream was very fast in responding. They say it is unacceptable to remove
DejaVu support, so I will probably have to package Type1 DejaVu. I can then
patch htmldoc to use the URW fonts and use popen to call t1ascii at runtime.
That should fix things up for now.

Ultimately, htmldoc should use fontconfig, but I think that is long term since
(correct me if I'm wrong) htmldoc would have to learn to directly read more
font formats for this to be useful. Currently it only reads afm/pfa files and
it hardcodes the FontName, so that it doesn't really need to parse or process
the font files themselves, only embed.
