Bug Description

Binary package hint: msttcorefonts

The installer from ttf-mscorefonts-installer presents the EULA and a tickbox with a question like:
'Do you accept the EULA?'
This does not make it clear that the box should be ticked.
This should read:
'Tick the box to show you accept the EULA' (or similar)

This is not a valid patch as the debconf string can be presented in various user interfaces which do not all contain a checkbox. In the default text mode, the user is presented with a yes/no choice. The question is valid - I see it more as a bug that this is implemented with a checkbox in certain frontends. However, any alternate suggestion that works in any of the existing frontends is appreciated.
