Sorry, I've been out of the country and not had a chance to get to this. I had planned to do that for the packages you previously requested changes for that I had proposed a unified symlink handling solution to deal with what is rather a mess at the moment, but have been obviously rather busy with travelling and work-related activities.

Regards,

Daniel

For whatever reason uclient-fetch is installed into /bin directory.
Your plan is to use it as a replacement for Busybox Wget. Fine.
Why do you place the wget link to uclient-fetch also into /bin ?
wget default location is /usr/bin/wget

If you later install GNU wget the package will remove /usr/bin/wget and build a 
new link to wget-ssl.
With your /bin/wget link to uclient-fetch you will have two wget installation 
afterwards.
So it depends on your PATH environment which one is used.

I suggest wherever you install uclient-fetch the link must be from 
/usr/bin/wget.
We decided that we want to move replaceable utilities that ship with the
default image to /bin, so that replacements (like GNU wget) can install
themselves to /usr/bin, which has priority in $PATH.
All this symlink mangling nonsense in postinst/postrm needs be ripped
out completely.
