If the packaging problem is simply the files being installed in /tmp, that can be easily fixed. Instead of installing the files in /tmp, just install them somewhere else (/usr/share/ttf-ms-fonts/ ?) where they won't be deleted.
The problem is that files are installed at run-time and cannot be tracked by pacman. That is a no-go for packages!
We've allowed it in the past when the package has been of significance. Like nvidia and fglrx before those were rewritten. Though I have all the fonts in my own ~/.fonts, I'd prefer to keep the package in the repos. Installation was at 70% in pkgstats. James
