Yes, DejaVu is only in the minimal install, because some users could
not be bothered to select the fonts group when they needed a system
with fonts, and pestered maintainers till a font was added to the
default install (and DejaVu Sans is good value for that, because it
provides a large coverage, in a single font, taking less space than
many smaller fonts with coverage overlaps)
