Yes, I see that. But I'm not sure if this bug is serious for now. And since even squeeze is already discontinued I'm not sure if this can be qualified as a bug at all. Though I can add calls to dpkg-maintscript-helper to the itk3 maintainer's scripts for jessie. It'll fix the overwriting the itcl3 package files, but upgrade path lenny->squeeze->wheezy->jessie will still fail leaving a few files unowned after the packages wil be purged (they are left from upgrades lenny->squeeze and squeeze->jessie): /usr/share/doc/itcl3/CHANGES.gz not owned /usr/share/doc/itcl3/INCOMPATIBLE.gz not owned /usr/share/doc/itcl3/README.gz not owned /usr/share/doc/itcl3/TODO not owned /usr/share/doc/itcl3/changelog.gz not owned But anyway, I'm tempted to just close this bugreport since it's reproducible for upgrades from really old distribution.
