both opendnssec-enforcer-sqlite3 and opendnssec-enforcer-mysql uses dpkg-maintscript-helper to replace the symlink with directory: ondrej@lettie:~/Projects/pkg-nlnetlabs/opendnssec/debian (master)$ cat opendnssec-enforcer-mysql.maintscript symlink_to_dir /usr/share/doc/opendnssec-enforcer-mysql/ /usr/share/doc/opendnssec-common/ 1:1.4.6-2~ -- "$@" ondrej@lettie:~/Projects/pkg-nlnetlabs/opendnssec/debian (master)$ cat opendnssec-enforcer-sqlite3.maintscript symlink_to_dir /usr/share/doc/opendnssec-enforcer-sqlite3/ /usr/share/doc/opendnssec-common/ 1:1.4.6-2~ -- "$@" Is there anything else I can do? Or is there something else wrong? I am not sure what to do better here.
