It seems that the bug is in the files:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed-Oblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf

from package ttf-dejavu because I've replaced these files with and old copy I have and after executing:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

DejaVu Sans Condensed have worked again...

May be as i can read at changelog:

ospito que han fet algun canvi que ha esguerrat aquestes fonts
(del changelog.Debian.gz):

ttf-dejavu (2.13-1) unstable; urgency=low
...
 * debian/ttf-dejavu.defoma-hints: remove "-Condensed" suffix from
   Family. Thanks to Eugeniy Meshcheryakov.

ttf-dejavu (2.12-2) unstable; urgency=medium

 * Fix incorrect font widths in condensed fonts. These caused most recent
   version of fontconfig to prefer condensed fonts over normal. Thanks to
   Eugeniy Meshcheryakov for the patch. (Closes: #401615)

Somebody introduced a bug in New Version....

You could find my old copy of the fonts at:
