Bug Description
msttcorefonts postinst script creates broken symlinks in /var/lib/
It seems the problem is in msttcorefonts.
# Automatically added by dh_installdefoma
FILE='/
if [ "$1" = configure ]; then
fi
# End automatically added section
So, fonts, described in msttcorefonts.hints are registered by defoma-font even if they are not downloaded and not installed :(
Solution would be call "defoma-font reregister-all $FILE" only if MS fonts are successfully installed into /usr/share/
Another solution would be to add checking function if MS fonts are successfully installed into /usr/share/fonts (this function should run after defoma-font reregister-all $FILE) and if there are no MS fonts in /usr/share/
/usr/bin/

I've moved that debhelper code down in the postinst file, so that the fonts registration will be done only after the downloads have succeeded. Thanks for reporting. This will be in a future upload of msttcorefonts, probably 2.2.
