I tried to fix this the following way. In the Jessie package
r-cran-rcurl_1.95-4.3-1+deb8u1_amd64.deb the examples link is:
$ readlink /usr/lib/R/site-library/RCurl/examples
../../../../share/doc/r-cran-rcurl/examples
Since in the package in unstable examples is a directory I tried
to fix the upgrade path by
$ cat debian/maintscript
symlink_to_dir /usr/lib/R/site-library/RCurl/examples
../../../../share/doc/r-cran-rcurl/examples 1.95-4.3-1
but this does not fix the situation. Seems I have missinterpreted the manpage
man dpkg-maintscript-helper
and I'm now asking for a hint how to do the maintainer script correctly.
Kind regards
Andreas.
