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).
  * 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

  * Source the debconf confmodule before doing anything else in the preinst.
  * 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)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
