No. That was the correct version. Because the "incorrect" symlink caused
by the version in testing is preserved after upgrading to sid.

Conflicts + Replaces (haven't checked) won't fix the symlink to
directory transition on upgrades.

Not supporting stretch-> sid upgrades means not supporting a clean
upgrade path within stetch once the new package migrated.
Is this really what you want?
