Package manager unaware of files

[Pander]

Binary package hint: xfonts-mathml

output of:
  dpkg -L xfonts-mathml
is not listing these files:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math4b__.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math1___.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math4___.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math1b__.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math1m__.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math1mb_.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math4mb_.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math3m__.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math3b__.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math2mb_.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math2b__.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math4m__.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math3mb_.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math2___.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math2m__.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math3___.ttf
 which it should.

Also the reverse is also not working. output of:
  dpkg -S /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml/math3___.ttf
results in an error, which it should not.

I know the package is containing an archive that is extracted to create these files. Nevertheless, the package manager can/should be tricked when installing the package to be aware that these files belong to the package in both directions of look up. From file to package and from package to file.

The same problem exists for msttcorefonts package.

Pander,

From what I see the xfonts-mathml package is not (or is no longer) an installer. Were the fonts above from the old mathematica font package perhaps? They are named like the old mathematica fonts which were installed by "ttf-mathematica 4.1", but are now installed by mathematica-fonts.

The same problem, only for the following files, applies to mathematica-fonts. Please change the package for this bug to mathematica-fonts if you can. Thanks.
