Package: rt73-common
Version: 1:1.0.3.6-cvs20071114-dfsg1-1
Severity: important

>From debian/changelog:

,----
|   * The /lib/firmware/rt73.bin symlink is created with update-rt73-firmware
|     script, so the package won't conflict with rt73-firmware package.
`----

However, the symlink is still in the package, which means that

- systems which had the firmware file (rt73.bin) in /lib/firmware
  before (that is the place where upstream places it) will be broken
  because it is removed;

- the warning in the postinst script is never displayed, because the
  symlink exists.

Guess what, this just happened to me and the kernel oopses that
followed after loading the driver without the firmware were not
really pretty. :-/
