Can we create the symlink in the postinst of base-files or something else
equally core, but only on initial installation or if the symlink is
missing?  That way, it's not owned by any package and the user can simply
change it directly themselves with ln -sf if they want to, at a time of
their choosing, and we don't have to be as paranoid about how we change it
ourselves because we simply never do after the initial installation.
