No, it has happened because my `/usr' is symlinked to `.' (devel machine)
This is not very supported yet. Will be more supported when
there will be more GNU/Hurd machines.
And touch is in both `/bin' and `/usr/bin', so i ended
with symlink to self at `/bin/touch'
I sent patch which solves this problem by one line in postinst
But it would be nice if dpkg check if file already exists before overwriting it.
( but it would slow it down a bit )
