Title:
  Should be able to cancel installation by rejecting EULA

Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  It isn't clear how to reject the EULA and cancel the installation of ttf-mscorefonts-installer.

  Installing via Synaptic, I first get a dialog that includes the full
  text of the EULA and a checkbox labelled "Do you accept the license
  terms?" There is a help button and a forward button but no way to
  explicitly decline the EULA.

  step 1" />

  On the second step, a user who has selected "Forward" without checking
  the EULA box sees a new message:

  > Declined  "TrueType Core Fonts for the Web EULA "
  > If you do not agree to the "TrueType Core Fonts for the Web EULA " license terms you cannot install this software. the installation of this program will be cancelled:

  step 2" />

  However, installation is not cancelled. `dpkg-query` clearly shows the
  package as installed:

      amanda at mona:~$ dpkg-query -l ttf-mscorefonts-installer
      Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
      | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
      |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
      ||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
      +++-==============-============-============-=================================
      ii  ttf-mscorefont 3.4+nmu1ubun all          Installer for Microsoft TrueTyp

  
  The first screen should give a user the option to explicitly reject the EULA, and having rejected it, installation should actually be cancelled.
