Actually, the root cause is a bug in dpkg. There's no way, without
maintainer script work, to convert directories to symlinks during
package upgrade. Should there be a note in the XML policy to this
effect? This bug is going to happen to *everyone* who moves from
/usr/share/sgml to /usr/share/xml if they provide a compatability
symlink.
Aside: It kinda sucks that dh_link doesn't handle this case. Blah.
Anyhow, I'll check out the bug. I just fixed pretty much an identical
issue in docbook-xml yesterday.
