DejaVu Serif Regular (Measurements for Sans are almost identical)
Stem height = 1493
Stem width = 203 (202 for Sans)
Weight Ratio = 7.35
2_6-Medium..................5.5 ≤ WeightRat < 7.5

DejaVu Serif Bold
Stem height = 1493
Stem width = 384
Weight Ratio = 3.89
2_8-Bold....................3.5 ≤ WeightRat < 4.5

So, DejaVu Serif's regular is at the upper end of the scale for "Medium" weight, 
and DejaVu Serif bold is near the middle of the range for "Bold" weight. In 
other words, it is just about as it should be.
