  (contrib)

  New

Bug description:
  Please merge msttcorefonts 3.6 (multiverse) from Debian testing (contrib)
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The merge adds two fixes not available in the Ubuntu delta:

    * Proxy test failed when HTTP:// is given in uppercase. Thanks
      Tobias Olsson (LP: #1072580).
    * Show licence message when fonts actually installed (closes: #672259).
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Sorry I can't work on this merge since I lack packaging skills.

  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta:

    * update-ms-fonts: Skip race between update-notifier and update-ms-fonts
      trying to delete the same files from the same locations (LP: #1354709)
    * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
      - Ubuntu preinst and postrm scripts have deltas.
      - debian/control: Add Multi-Arch: foreign.
      - Use maintscript support in dh_installdeb rather than writing out
        dpkg-maintscript-helper commands by hand.  We now simply Pre-Depend on a new enough version of dpkg rather than using 'dpkg-maintscript-helper
        supports' guards, leading to more predictable behaviour on upgrades.
      - Source the debconf confmodule before doing anything else in the preinst.
      - Move #DEBHELPER# substitution before preinst code that might exit.
      - Migrate to use an update-notifier hook, so that package data can be
        handled asynchronously and not cause install failures on network
        problems.
      - Add missing pre-depends for use of debconf in preinst.
      - Convert to dh(1).
    * Migrate to use an update-notifier hook, so that package data can be
      handled asynchronously and not cause install failures on network
      problems.  LP: #876298.
    * Add missing pre-depends for use of debconf in preinst.
    * Convert to dh(1).

    * Move #DEBHELPER# substitution before preinst code that might exit.
    * Merge from Debian testing with help of MOM.  Remaining changes:
      - Ubuntu preinst and postrm scripts have deltas
    * debian/control: Add Multi-Arch: foreign (LP: #905055)
    * Create /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts in the postinst
      instead of packaging it to work around a bad interaction with
      fontconfig's postinst: see Ubuntu bug 819097. (LP: #670629)
    * change EULA display so that on refusal fonts are removed
    * do not fails the install if the EULA is not accepted, but instead
      do not download the fonts
    * update-ms-fonts: make wget use the proxy defined for apt (LP: #56880)
    * display the EULA for the fonts when installing the
      package (LP: #670629)
