Yes, the cdrecord package previously shipped /usr/share/doc/cdrecord as a directory, and does not correctly handle the upgrade -- which IIRC involves rm -rf'ing the directory in the preinst of the new package version, so that the symlink can be correctly created in the unpack stage.

[Resending with Steve in the CC list.] Since cdrecord depends on wodim, from the same source package, it can simply ship a symlink from /usr/share/doc/cdrecord to wodim. That's precisely what it does. H. Looking at the contents of a freshly-downloaded cdrecord deb, it does appear to ship a symlink. However, on my system, I have: $ ls -ld /usr/share/doc/cdrecord drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-09-07 21:01 /usr/share/doc/cdrecord The same appears to hold true for the doc directories in the couple of other packages I filed bugs on.
