Title:
  Package manager unaware of files

Status in “msttcorefonts” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: msttcorefonts

  output of:
    dpkg -L msttcorefonts
  is not listing these files:
    ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/
  Andale_Mono.ttf              Georgia.ttf
  andalemo.ttf                 georgiaz.ttf
  arialbd.ttf                  impact.ttf

  Arial_Bold_Italic.ttf        timesbi.ttf
  Arial_Bold.ttf               timesi.ttf
  Arial_Italic.ttf             Times_New_Roman_Bold_Italic.ttf
  ariali.ttf                   Times_New_Roman_Bold.ttf
  arial.ttf                    Times_New_Roman_Italic.ttf
  Arial.ttf                    Times_New_Roman.ttf
  ariblk.ttf                   times.ttf
  comicbd.ttf                  trebucbd.ttf
  Comic_Sans_MS_Bold.ttf       trebucbi.ttf
  Comic_Sans_MS.ttf            Trebuchet_MS_Bold_Italic.ttf
  comic.ttf                    Trebuchet_MS_Bold.ttf
  courbd.ttf                   Trebuchet_MS_Italic.ttf
  courbi.ttf                   Trebuchet_MS.ttf
  Courier_New_Bold_Italic.ttf  trebucit.ttf
  Courier_New_Bold.ttf         trebuc.ttf
  Courier_New_Italic.ttf       Verdana_Bold_Italic.ttf
  Courier_New.ttf              Verdana_Bold.ttf
  couri.ttf                    verdanab.ttf
  cour.ttf                     Verdana_Italic.ttf
  Georgia_Bold_Italic.ttf      verdanai.ttf
  Georgia_Bold.ttf             verdana.ttf
  georgiab.ttf                 Verdana.ttf
  Georgia_Italic.ttf           verdanaz.ttf
  georgiai.ttf                 webdings.ttf
  georgia.ttf                  Webdings.ttf
  which it should list.

  Also the reverse is also not working. output of:
    dpkg -S /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf 
  and:
    dpkg -S /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial.ttf
  results in an error, which it should not.

  I know the package is containing an archive that is extracted to
  create these files. Nevertheless, the package manager can/should be
  tricked when installing the package to be aware that these files
  belong to the package in both directions of look up. From file to
  package and from package to file.

  The same problem exists for xfonts-mathml package.
