The bug exhibited itself by tipa shipping an encoding file, which
triggered via debhelper a generated code in the post* scripts
that removed the above mentioned file.
The encoding file should actually not be shipped. The current release
simply does not install this file and fixes thus the problem.
It might be considered an RC bug since it removes files that are
unrelated.
Thanks a lot
Norbert
