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.

Title:
  Installer gives unclear tickbox

Status in “msttcorefonts” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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)
