Suppose `/etc/configfile` is a file managed by `some-package` using ucf. 1. Suppose `/etc/configfile` is diverted by `my-config` to `/my- diverted/etc/configfile`. 2. Suppose `/etc/configfile` belongs to `my-config` and is a symlink to `/my-config/etc/configfile`. Then `ucf`, when invoked by `some-package`, should update `/my- diverted/etc/configfile` (which is where the original configuration provided by `some-package` resides), not `/my-config/etc/configfile` (where the override provided by `my-config` resides).
