Just tell me what to provide!
Well, right. If the symlink is being created backwards, then /etc/armagetronad-dedicated won't be created; it will try to install a symlink called /etc/armagetronad, and since armagetronad-common ships the /etc/armagetronad directory, this is likely why dpkg chokes. Also, armagetron-server depends on armagetronad-dedicated because armagetron-server is now a dummy package -- when I adopted these packages I decided to rename them to match upstream, which changed names a while ago.
