You should probably not do that, since it confuses dpkg.

When dpkg sees that a directory is a symlink, it just follows it
when unpacking the contents of a package (as every unix tool would do).

This is a sometimes a useful thing if used wisely, but if you get into
trouble because of it, you should blame yourself, not dpkg.
