Particularly for F32, considering how late this "Change" landed,
adding compat symlinks for dejavu at least seems a reasonable request to me.

Well as of F32 'font(:lang=en)' is provided by langpacks-core-font-en, which
will pull in dejavu-sans-fonts.
I think currently that is the best option/answer (not that we want to privilege
'en' particularly...
basically for all major European languages/scripts I believe we default to
dejavu).
We can think about a better/more correct answer for F33 perhaps, but it is
tricky.
In terms of orthography English is really the lowest common denominator I
think.
Better take this to a separate discussion: feel free to open a langpacks bug to
discuss this more.
