Copyright applies both to a work and its derivatives. So yes just
because you rasterize the font does not mean the font license is moot.
However the DejaVu license is rather liberal, so as long as you stick to
its conditions there should be no problem using it in a hardware
product. And yes, you need to keep the license somewhere with the
product, if only not to forget the legal conditions later.
