It does, entry is not removed if directory exist.

But it can't happen with 'apt-get dist-upgrade' due to dependencies,
I also have another argument in favor of the quick removal of dh_ocamlld
and friends.
Imagine when sarge is released in 2 years an OCaml user which gives
Debian a try. He is told that OCaml dll path is managed by 3 files,
and wondered: "Hey, these guys are crazy, upstream states that all
libraries must go in a well defined place, so what is this crap?".
We were complaining that this issue had to be solved upstream, so if
it is we should not introduce more complexity than needed.
