Package: git-core
Version: 1:1.6.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

It's not possible anymore (second time now) to install the git-core package
if you have /usr/lib/ and /usr/bin/ on different disks (recommended for speed).

git-core tries to hard link (why the link????????) between those two 
directories.

The error message:

  Entpacke Ersatz für git-core ...
  dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von 
/var/cache/apt/archives/git-core_1%3a1.6.2.1-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
  Fehler beim Erzeugen des festen Verweises »./usr/bin/git«: Ungültiger Link 
über Gerätegrenzen hinweg

In english:

  Error creating hard link "./usr/bin/git": invalid link across devices.



Package can't be installed anymore this way. The problem is, that, if git _is_ 
installed, the whole upgrading fails.

That's why I'd say this is a _severe_ bug.
