Nathanaël, many thanks for your *clear* explanation of what was done to the code between Debian and Ubuntu.

In regards to 14.04, when this machine (located in the UK) originally had 14.04 installed, ttf-mscorefonts-installer worked fine. When 14.04 was re-installed in January 2015, ttf-mscorefonts-installer failed to download. At that point, the Debian 3.6 package was installed, which downloaded successfully (quite in line with your explanation). The symptoms have continued with other 14.04 LTS installs, and now with 16.04 LTS installs. (On a number of machines.)
