That looks correct.

 From this I gather that upgrades of nauty <= 2.7r1+ds-1 to this new
version should trigger the replacement of a symlink with real directory
before placing the files inside. Or am I wrong?

In buster we have
  /usr/share/doc/nauty -> libnauty2
but in jessie we had
  /usr/share/doc/nauty -> /usr/share/doc/libnauty2

and that is not caught by the maintscript entry.

The following should catch both cases:

symlink_to_dir /usr/share/doc/nauty /usr/share/doc/libnauty2 2.7r1+ds-2~

I'll try to test that ...
