Bug#390647: new way

[Ronny Aasen]

More knowledgeable people in debian-devel suggested

conditional_cp () {
 if [ ! -e "$2/$1" ]; then
   if [ -L "$1" ] && [ -e "$1" ]; then
     cat "$1" >"$2/$1"
   elif [ -e "$1" ]; then
     cp -a "$1" "$2/$1"
   fi
 fi
}


as a more  portable and less syntactically ambiguous method
