I've noticed, that mscorefonts are available packaged in deb package
too, see ttf-microsoft-corefonts package:

http://archive.debian-maintainers.org/unofficial/packages/microsoft-corefonts/
https://launchpad.net/~ivan1986/+archive/ppa/+packages

It seems font license now allows to distribute the fonts not only in
original compressed cab archive (.exe_ form, but also in other forms,
like tar and deb packages - look at license file in ttf-microsoft-
corefonts package above.

If I'm right, then ubuntu can have ttf-microsoft-corefonts-base and ttf-
microsoft-corefonts-extra packages in multiverse repository and this bug
would be fixed ;)

ttf-liberation renders half ttf-mscorefonts-installer useless, though the rest 
may still be needed
