Check what the preinstall script for msttcorefonts does. It probably uses
defoma.

defoma - Debian Font Manager -- automatic font configuration framework

Hmm. Several things.

$ feta search defoma

Running: apt-cache search defoma
x-ttcidfont-conf - Configure TrueType and CID fonts for X.
defoma - Debian Font Manager -- automatic font configuration framework
defoma-doc - Documents of Debian Font Manager
dfontmgr - GUI frontend for defoma, DEbian FOnt MAnager
psfontmgr - PostScript font manager -- part of Defoma, Debian Font Manager
