In this case it's the unversioned dir we want to stay around, so the
scriptlet doesn't have to be any more bizarre than something like this which
IMO isn't that bad (certainly not bad enough to stop implementing the above
plan IMO), and would only be needed in *-javadoc that created an unversioned
symlink, either owned by the package as usual or created "in the wild" in
%post:
%pretrans javadoc -p <lua>
-- TODO: remove this scriptlet in F-17
os.remove("%{_javadocdir}/%{name}")
The F-17 in the comment assumes this stuff is first introduced in F-15, and
that direct upgrades from F-N to F-(N+2) (i.e. skip over one release but not
more) should be supported.
