You shouldn't add duplicate copies of the maintainer scripts, but use debian/$package.maintscript instead and let debhelper do the duplication. See dh_installdeb(1) for details. And you can omit the package name argument if it's the same as $package. >From commit 26e01b3d20b6 I'm concluding that all the prior-versions you used are wrong. If 5.13.0+dfsg-1 shipped a wrong version there (and therefore the transition didn't take place when upgrading from ... to ... to 5.13.0+dfsg-1~exp3 to 5.13.0+dfsg-1), it should have been set to 5.13.0+dfsg-2~ (i.e. not the version that initially brought the change in the filesystem, but the version that adds the correct dpkg-maintscript-helper symlink_to_dir call) in the fixing upload of 5.13.0+dfsg-2 (so the conversion would be attempted again while upgrading to 5.13.0+dfsg-2, but since 5.13.0+dfsg-1~exp2~ is older than 5.13.0+dfsg-1, nothing would be retried and the broken state would be left in place). So assuming the next upload will be 5.13.0+dfsg-4, use 5.13.0+dfsg-4~ as the prior-version in all *.maintscript files (this will ensure the upgrade path from stable to unstable will do the symlink_to_dir transition once and correctly, regardless of which intermediate versions from sid and experimental have been installed). Reopening again, since this problem also exists in python-plplot, libplplot-ocaml, plplot-tcl-bin, plplot-tcl-dev (found in testing->sid and stable->sid upgrade tests). Reusing this bug report instead of opening a new, since this is still the same issue. (I initially filed two bugs against the same source package since I didn't recognize libqsastime* was related to *plplot*.) Andreas
