Public bug reported:

Even though I installed Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 with the option 'install 3rd
party software', I noticed today that the msttcorefonts package had not
been installed on my system. I then installed the package by hand and
noticed that it installed Flash as well, while AFAIK it should not:
