Should this be forbidden because > it opens cans of worms? I don't think that this should be forbidden, but it must be clear which package owns the directory(ies) and the symlink(s). Any change in the directory layout must be handled with care and considered a transition. > foo ships /usr/share/foo/foo.dat > > bar ships /usr/share/foobar/bar.dat /usr/share/foo -> foobar /usr/share/foo should certainly be considered as belonging to package foo, also foo maintainer may decide to give it to foo-data or foo-common for instance. There should be a "foo Policy", discussed between the maintainers of the relevant packages, to decide which files may or may not be written in /u/s/foo. In the case you quote, bar is probably RC-buggy. bar maintainer should perhaps ask foo maintainer whether it's ok to install bar.dat (perhaps as a symlink) in /u/s/foo.
