Package: libmcs-dev

during an upgrade test with piuparts I noticed your package installs
files over an existing symlink, overwriting files from another package
in a way that is not detected by dpkg:
0m43.8s INFO: dirname part contains a symlink:
/usr/share/doc/libmcs-dev/changelog.Debian.gz !=
/usr/share/doc/libmcs1/changelog.Debian.gz (libmcs-dev)
/usr/share/doc/libmcs-dev/copyright != /usr/share/doc/libmcs1/copyright
(libmcs-dev)
Looks like /usr/share/doc/libmcs-dev was a symlink in squeeze and is a
directory in wheezy.
libmcs-dev.preinst should probably do something like
test ! -L /usr/share/doc/libmcs-dev || rm /usr/share/doc/libmcs-dev
Please clean this up in wheezy.

Hello,
I have just uploaded a NMU to delayed/10 to fix the issue. Patch
attached.
