Binary package hint: language-selector

In some Japanese PDF files(font is not embedded) could not read with evince.
So, Japanese user could not read many pdf files at right out of the box.
------------------------------------------------------------------
How reproduce:
 1) install natty
 2) login and set "Japanese" :
  system settings -> Language Settings -> Install/Remove Language -> add "Japanese"
 3) install poppler-data(just in case, it is automatic applied in Natty)
 # apt-get install popller-data
 4) Open attached PDF file with evince.

Actual result:
- PDF characters are not readable, Kanji chars become squares.

Expected result (pathced):
- PDF characters are readable.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:

We(me, Ikuya AWASHIRO, Mitsuya Shibata, Takashi Sakamoto) test with these behavior.
In conclusion, it came from /etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf .

That file bind at top with "DejaVu Serif" / "DejaVu Sans", evince could not properly handle the these designation.

However, this bug *not* evince's. IMHO, in a precise sense, that cause evinces bad behavir. evince could not handle "font-linked" settings,
but other(many) application could use this.

In ideal behavior, evince use "DejaVu Serif" / "DejaVu Sans" bindings handle the correctly, but that is not easy.

I approach the patch. That is workaround for that bad behavior.
