Mmm, as correct as that might be in principle, I'm afraid that looks like
too large of a change to make to the package at this late date.

Ok, thanks.  Please note that this now blocks the fix for 308762 from
reaching sarge, since 4.0.24-9 was uploaded before 4.0.24-8 reached testing.

FWIW, one thought I had was that you could check for a symlink in a preinst,
save the information about the link target somewhere under /var/lib/, and
recreate it in the postinst if it gets lost due to upgrade issues.
