That's your risk :-)  Good threads always spin out of control!

If not directly, then it's always possible to have a meta-package -
sun-java*-doc, for instance, installs the java documentation if it finds it
in /tmp, and requires you to answer the license notice, and msttcorefonts
is actually a script to download the fonts from a non-Ubuntu site.
