Bug Description

Binary package hint: msttcorefonts

When installing msttcorefonts, one is presented with extremely verbose information referring to the Debian Font Manager (defoma). This information wasn't presented in Feisty, and is for the most part irrelevant to 99% of Ubuntu users, as the fonts generally work in the standard desktop applications without any special configuration. Could this message be suppressed by default?

The same message appear for me as well even though all the dependencies that msttcorefonts relies on were installed (during the installation of Gutsy).

I doubt that this message wasn't in Feisty.

I'll consider to move it do a README or the like.

This defoma warning should at least be skipable via dbset/preseed if not removed alltogether.
