Why the hell do these packages depend on corefonts?:

It somehow makes sense with wine, maybe even - remotely - with flash.
But why, why should *slim* need Windows fonts to work?
According to the slim webpage, it only needs freetype (along with
libjpeg, libpng, and X11).
It appears to be explained in the bug about it though:

"the default theme uses verdana which is provided by corefonts"
