Thanks for your patch! Unfortunately, it cannot be included in Ubuntu for the
following reasons:
* it ships a new postinst.in which is used to update postinst via a sed in
debian/rules. This is messy and postinst should be adjusted directly with no
changes to debian/rules or the additional file.
* the file postinst.in intends to update
/usr/share/package-data-downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer via some brittle
regular expressions and sed calls (fyi, you might be interested in 'sed -i' for
future scripting). A better solution is to simply adjust update-ms-fonts to
honor URLOVERRIDE
Unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors for now. Please feel free to update and
mark this bug back to 'NEW' and resubscribing ubuntu-sponsors after
updating the patch. Thanks again.
