I think it is bug in those ice* and not in ttf-dejavu. There is one
thing in DejaVu font that makes them different form many other fonts. Sans
fonts (Book, Oblique, Bold, Bold Oblique, ExtraLight, Condensed*) all
have "prefered family" "DejaVu Sans", but also divided in 3 "families":
"DejaVu Sans", "DejaVu Sans Condensed", "DejaVu Sans Light" for
compatiblity with applications that support only 4 styles per family.
See also http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/name.htm , section
"Name IDs", entries 1 and 16.
Serif fonts are also divided into two families "DejaVu Serif" and
"DejaVu Serif Condensed".
