So for all intents and purposes it is not bumped to 2.26 yet, as it is masked. I have no idea why it was masked too if it was handled with keyword dropping instead... Bug 224541 requests re-keywording and testing of 2.25-r1, and no mention of 2.26, hence this reopening after actually looking what's going on here as a quick emerge -va dejavu definitely didn't suggest the latest version available on ~arch...
That's odd. Let's ask the perpetrator! :)
Ooops. Fixed. + 24 Sep 2008; Peter Alfredsen <loki_val@gentoo.org> package.mask: + Let the fonts flow free, unmask dejavu testing version. +
