fresh install of xlibs fails (still app-defaults)



Fresh install of xlibs is not possible in testing at the moment (powerpc
architecture if that matters):

Setting up xlibs (4.1.0-9) ...
Analyzing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults:

ERROR: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults is not a symbolic link.  The package
preinst script should have failed.
Please report the package name, version, and the text of the above error
message(s) to <debian-x@lists.debian.org>.
dpkg: error processing xlibs (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

This time, it's tgif (4.1.25-3) that installs its file under this
directory. Should I report it as a bug in tgif?

xlibs and tgif were unpacked in one go, maybe the problem lies there (so
xlibs preinst didn't notice because at that moment the directory did not
exist)?
