Re: symlink vs. directory "conflicts"
Just a few examples where something is installed over existing symlinks:
/usr/share/php/doc/Net_Ping != /usr/share/doc/php5-common/PEAR/Net_Ping (php-net-ping)
/usr/share/texmf/doc/fonts != /usr/share/doc/texmf/fonts (cm-super-minimal)
/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex != /usr/share/doc/texmf/latex (alqalam)
/usr/share/doc/gtkmm-3.0/tutorial != /usr/share/doc/libgtkmm-3.0-doc/tutorial (gtkmm-documentation)
/usr/include/python3.2/CXX != /usr/include/python3.2mu/CXX (python3-cxx-dev)
syntax is
/path/to/something != /the/real/location/of/something (package)
where $(readlink -f /path/to) returns "/the/real/location/of"
and "package" ships /path/to/something
