Control: retitle -1 ttf-mscorefonts-installer: verdana font misses the ẞ 
character

This is a known issue that is unlikely to get fixed, quoting from
archwiki, "The fonts provided by these packages are out-of-date and are
missing modern hinting instructions and the full character sets". The
upstream fonts [1] have not been updated since 2003.

If you wish to get a fixed version of the verdana font, follow the
archwiki guide [2] to manually extract the newest font files from MS
Windows ISO images, the guide works for debian too. Make sure to remove
the msttcorefonts package if you manually extract the fonts from the
ISO.
