This problem can be reproduced easily with these steps. The problem should go
away for fresh installs if syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy migrates to testing,
but it will still be there for older installs.

Removing the directories first isn't very elegant. The following patch shoud
fix the problem by forcing cp to use the right path (adding the -T option):
--- a/debian/local/extlinux-update

Unfortunately, there is a newer version of syslinux in sid, which will
probably not be unblocked for wheezy, so a fix via testing-proposed-updates
might be necessary.
Daniel, will you fix this bug in sid and (via t-p-u) in wheezy, or do you want
someone else to do an NMU?
Cheers,
Ivo
