I figure that this will fix the problem:

diff --git a/debian/gosa.postinst b/debian/gosa.postinst

Bug#811382: gosa: fails to install: ln: './bin': cannot overwrite directory

Package: gosa
Version: 2.7.4+reloaded2-7
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.
