As I recall, dangling symlink is not violation of Policy (correct me if I am wrong), so the best route is to teach these tools about this special case, like we teach lintian. So, I think adequate(1) need to be patched. Something else? > I find that quite annoying. Sorry, this is not enough.

You can use dpkg-exclude to alleviate this particular issue somewhat. -- Note, that I send and fetch email in batch, once in a few days.
