Munin doesn't use the font file directly but configures RRDs::graph to use it
by adding --font 'DejaVuSans....' to the config options of RRDs. So it should
be safe to replace ttf-dejavu by fonts-dejavu in the Depends:.

I updated the d/control in the branches 'debian' [1] and the 
'debian-experimental' [2]
so with the next release / upload this should be fixed.

best wishes,
Matthias
