Hi, I had a look into #771753 and noticed that the proper maintscripts that should deal with the issue are included into the packaging. However, I can confirm that it only works for package libavifile-0.7c2 but not for libavifile-0.7-bin and libavifile-0.7-dev.
I had tried whether the superflous '-- "$@"' at the end of these scripts which is rather added by debhelper (see debdiff extract below) might have some influence but it does not. Does anybody have a clue why symlink_to_dir works perfectly for libavifile-0.7c2 but not for libavifile-0.7-bin and libavifile-0.7-dev?
