I do not agree with this. The package description clearly states:
"You will need an Internet connection to download these fonts if you
don't already have them."
Also, the debconf templates include this information and the ability to
abort:
"If you haven't yet downloaded these fonts, leave this blank and the fonts
will be downloaded for you. Approximately 4 MB will need to be downloaded.
If you are not connected to the internet or do not wish to download these
fonts now, enter "none" to abort."
About the LAN-installation: there is in fact a good way to avoid that,
and that is to specify a directory where the fonts can be found when
presented with the msttcorefonts/dldir debconf question. This is
intended exactly for such purposes.
The uninstallation problem has meanwhile been fixed.
Concluding, I don't think there's anything we can fix here.
