A similar problem occured upon update of nvidia-kernel source.
The maintainer of that package suggests that this could be reported as a
wishlist bug for module-assistant, given all of the trouble that can be
caused
by simply extracting a tar file on top of an existing directory. Should the
option clean be the default action in m-a a-i package?
Well given -O can prevent overwrite of the existing directory, which m-a
seems to like doing all the time, doing a clean first by default would
be very handy. If it extracts the tar file, doing a clean of the target
first would make things a lot safer.
