Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package ships (or creates)
a broken symlink.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m33.2s ERROR: FAIL: Broken symlinks:
  /usr/share/doc/tau-examples/examples/python -> ../python-tau/examples

Looking into this in more detail I find in tau-examples the symlink
  /usr/share/doc/tau-examples/examples/python -> ../python-tau/examples
and in python-tau the files
 /usr/share/doc/tau-examples/examples/python/auto.py
 /usr/share/doc/tau-examples/examples/python/manual.py
and installing tau-examples first and afterwards python-tau results in

Unpacking python-tau (2.17.3.1.dfsg-4.1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/python-tau_2.17.3.1.dfsg-4.1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/tau-examples/examples/python', which is 
also in package tau-examples 2.17.3.1.dfsg-4.1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/python-tau_2.17.3.1.dfsg-4.1_amd64.deb


Looks like you can just drop the symlink from tau-examples, since
python-tau will install it at the correct location.

cheers,

Andreas
