Workaround:

1. Get it straight from Debian:
wget 
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.8.1_all.deb
 -P ~/Downloads

2. Install it without recommends:
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends 
~/Downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.8.1_all.deb

3. Copy the fonts to another folder:
sudo cp -v -r /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts2

4. Uninstall the Debian installer (plus the fonts in their original folder):
sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer

5. Notify the system:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

6. Done.
