Recently, I made some tests regarding the behavior of dpkg with respect to symlinks. This resulted in two bugs: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574656 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574658
Before investigating further in this area (I have other tests in mind), I would like to know if there is an expected semantics of symlinks for dpkg. I know the "links replacing a directory is a feature" part (which, if I am not mistaken, fully reads: "A sysadmin may replace a directory with a symlink, dpkg shall not change it back to a directory in the future but just follow the symlink").
