Hi,

during an upgrade test with piuparts I noticed your package installs
files over an existing symlink, overwriting files from another package
in a way that is not detected by dpkg:

0m43.8s INFO: dirname part contains a symlink:
  /usr/share/doc/libmcs-dev/changelog.Debian.gz != 
/usr/share/doc/libmcs1/changelog.Debian.gz (libmcs-dev)
  /usr/share/doc/libmcs-dev/copyright != /usr/share/doc/libmcs1/copyright 
(libmcs-dev)

Looks like /usr/share/doc/libmcs-dev was a symlink in squeeze and is a
directory in wheezy.

libmcs-dev.preinst should probably do something like

    test ! -L /usr/share/doc/libmcs-dev || rm /usr/share/doc/libmcs-dev

Please clean this up in wheezy.


Cheers,

Andreas
