Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
debootstrap unpacks base packages in alphabetical order:
I: Unpacking required packages...
I: Unpacking adduser...
I: Unpacking base-files...
I: Unpacking base-passwd...
I: Unpacking bash...
I: Unpacking bsdutils...
I: Unpacking busybox-initramfs...
I: Unpacking coreutils...
I: Unpacking cpio...
I: Unpacking dash...
I: Unpacking debconf...
I: Unpacking debconf-i18n...
I: Unpacking debianutils...
I: Unpacking diffutils...
I: Unpacking dpkg...
So before the dpkg preinst script has ever been run, a number of other
packages have been unpacked - autocreating /var/lib/dpkg/info/$arch as a
directory in the process. So any new installs with this version of dpkg
are going to have a directory instead of a symlink.
This may be related to some of the problems still being reported for
alpha 3 on the preinstalled images.
