Hmm, so we actually had that, and then intentionally switched to a manual approach here: https://salsa.debian.org/rlb/deb-emacs/commit/c60e9080df0d924d6a45e77725c11959926f24a7 commit c60e9080df0d924d6a45e77725c11959926f24a7 Author: Rob Browning <r...@defaultvalue.org> Date: Sun Aug 12 11:52:59 2018 -0500 Handle the emacs-{gtk,lucid,nox} doc dir transition manually Before the unversioning, these packages were in a different source package (emacs-defaults) and were arch all. Since dpkg-mainscript-helper can't hande "all to any" transitions (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=813455), clean up manually in the preinsts. Thanks to Sven Joachim for reporting the problem and indentifying the underlying cause. Closes: 905555 Assuming I understand the situation correctly, it doesn't look like the original issue has been resolved -- if not, then perhaps we need to improve the manual handling instead?
