Previous versions of debhelper had used "ln -sf" to create the symlink,
but since version 10.5.1 dh_compress uses perl's own symlink() function
and fails to remove the target beforehand. The attached patch fixes
this for me.

Subject: [PATCH] dh_compress: Remove target before creating fixup symlink
The target might already exist, possible because it had been created
by dh_link before.
Regression introduced by the switch to make_symlink_raw_target in
commit ee8fd59af61fa4739cdd536ecbb492cc8520df40.
