** Description changed:

  Axis2/C and Rampart/C traditionally would install into /opt. The Ubuntu
  packages were made to be FHS compliant, but applications using Axis2/C
  and Rampart still assumed the old, /opt style directory layout. As a
  means to make ends meet, a lot of symlinks were added to make things
  appear in the expected places for everyone. Specifically, I used
  directory symlinks.  Due to the way dpkg deals with this on upgrades,
  people upgrading from 1.5.0-* to 1.6.0-* ended up with a barely
  functional package. The only workaround is to remove the package
  completely and install it again.
  
  At the very least, we should start using file-only symlinks, so that
  upgrades from now on will be painless.
