Bug Description
Per the following bug
http://
https:/
fontconfig's postinst likes to delete empty directories in /usr/share/fonts. Unfortunately, msttcorefonts packages an empty directory, /usr/share/
I've attached a debdiff to create this directory in the postinst instead of packaging it in debian/dirs.
This is a re-filing of my comment at the bottom of
https:/
I can't seem to reopen a "Fix released" bug, and it seemed better to open a new bug anyway. See that bug for some more context.

I'm not certain what the bug workflow for foundations is supposed to be, so I assigned to Ubuntu Foundations. I suspect that mvo will be assigned the bug ultimately, so I subscribed him. I also subscribed Amanda because, aiui, this whole eula thing springs from some legal obligations.
