Bug#30126: dpkg: dpkg-divert does not work with directories.
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.23.2
dpkg-divert --rename /usr/include/linux
Then dpkg still installs files to
/usr/include/linux/... not to /usr/include/linux.distrib.
Either this behaviour should be fixed, so the files go in
/usr/include/linux.distrib/..., or when trying to divert a
directory, an error should be spewed saying "Not supported"
