Hi,
As per discussion on IRC and check of the existing prerm, arptables
already has the logic in prerm to clean-up old symlinks, so I didn't
touch it.
Discussing on #debian-devel, it was agreed we need to clean-up eventual
remainings of the symlink, if they point to /usr/sbin/*, so that's what
I've done in the attached patch.
I have attached the debdiff for the NMU that I've uploaded to delayed-2.
Let me know if that's fine, or if you would like me to "dcut rm" the upload.
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
