This is a problem in dpkg, see #626203 [1] for more details. On pma 4.9 this was a directory, pma 5.0 changed this to a symlink. I stumbled upon this problem already the other way around when changing a symlink to a real directory. If I remember right, I removed the symlink in preinst. Otherwise the contents of the folder has been extracted to the location where the symlink pointed to.
