Hmm, the preinst files do
if [ "$1" = "upgrade" ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 2.27.5-2; then
rm -f /usr/share/doc/libglib2.0-dev
fi
I. e. correctly use lt-nl (thus don't fire on fresh installs), and
also shouldn't affect natty upgrades, and don't create any symlinks.
Given that this was reproduced using a natty install and oneiric
upgrade, I don't see how this would introduce this bug. But maybe I'm
missing something here?
debian/* doesn't use "ln" anywhere, and there is just one *.links for
gtk-doc.
The natty package is identical in all those regards.
Right now I'm really stumped how this symlink ever actually got
created. It's like black magic :(
Thanks for any hint,
Martin

While upgrading another laptop, during the process I got a dialog
saying:

After the upgrade finished I saw in the update manager terminal
window: Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg
returned an error code (1), and it did automatically prompt me to
create a bug, but I had to reboot to finish the upgrade get a network
connection.
After the reboot, it appears to be installed according to apt-cache:
