I'm not sure what you mean by this. The package description is I think pretty 
clear that this is an installer package which requires an internet connection 
to download the fonts. I presume that when installing the package after 
reading the description you should be aware of what it does?

Actually, it has a debconf prompt during installation which asks for a local 
dir with the fonts.

This seems to be a valid point. I'll look into fixing that behaviour.
