Currently I'm unable to check the newest versions of the postinst files,
because I'm still using Feisty. Here I found the following postinst for
msttcorefonts:
---8X snip here ---
#!/bin/sh
set -e
. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
#DEBHELPER#
db_get msttcorefonts/dldir
LOCALCOPY=$RET
db_get msttcorefonts/savedir
SAVEDIR=${RET:+-s$RET}
db_get msttcorefonts/dlurl
URLOVERRIDE=${RET:+-u$RET}
db_get msttcorefonts/http_proxy
HTTP_PROXY=${RET:+-p$RET}
if [ -e /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ms-fonts ] ; then
cp -p /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ms-fonts /var/lib/msttcorefonts/ms-fonts
rm -f /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ms-fonts
fi
if [ -d /var/state/msttcorefonts ] ; then
cp -p /var/state/msttcorefonts/* /var/lib/msttcorefonts/ 2>/dev/null || true
rm -rf /var/state/msttcorefonts/
# It's not FHS, and it's probably our fault this is here,
# so delete it if we can.
rmdir /var/state/ 2> /dev/null || true
fi
# Since we moved the fonts from /usr/share/fonts/truetype to
#/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts, run update-fonts-dir in
#/usr/share/fonts/truetype
update-fonts-dir truetype
update-ms-fonts $URLOVERRIDE $SAVEDIR $LOCALCOPY

It seems that HTTP_PROXY should be substituted by http_proxy because
wget uses the lowercased variable. I am not sure if "export http_proxy"
is also needed after it is set.
In addition, flashplugin-nonfree also has a buggy postinst file (just a
part of it is copy-pasted):
---8X snip here ---
else # no local file
db_get flashplugin-nonfree/httpget
if [ "$RET" != "true" ]; then
fp_exit_with_error "download or license refused"
fi
# setting wget options
:> wgetrc
echo "noclobber = off" >> wgetrc
echo "dir_prefix = ." >> wgetrc
echo "dirstruct = off" >> wgetrc
echo "verbose = on" >> wgetrc
echo "progress = dot:default" >> wgetrc
# downloading the plugin
echo "Downloading..."
rm -f install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
if [ -f /home/bart/src/flashplugin-nonfree/bartm_debug ]; then
WGETRC=wgetrc wget
http://127.0.0.1/bart/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz \
|| fp_exit_with_error "download failed"
else
WGETRC=wgetrc wget
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
\
|| fp_exit_with_error "download failed"
fi
rm -f wgetrc
echo "Download done."
fi # end if local file

Obviously http_proxy is not set here.
