That's actually not true. Debian isn't the first vendor to discover that
the renaming trick hoses upgrades and to recommend a different
procedure. Nor is debian the only system that will put the symlinks back
when upgrading, if you remove them. Removing them might be your habit,
but it's not very reliable.
