This link wasn't created in my case. But maybe I was wrong about the
reason. Just to test it I reinstalled the new package and this time
there was no problem.
The wrong link to the non-existing /var/lib/texmf/web2 in the package
might be irrelevant as the right link should be created by the
postinst script. (Anyway, so it seems to me.)
No idea why the link wasn't created when I first updated the
package. But as long nobody else gets the same problem I assume there
is no bug ...
