No, this bug isn't fixed at all! There's just a workaround, which is uninstalling and reinstalling the package. But (as far as I know) everyone who follows unstable close enough and has this package and didn't apply this workaround, still has the broken situation. It would be nice if a next version would repair that situation somehow... I don't know anything about how symlinks are supposed to be handled in .debs, but as long as nobody can point out what was done wrong in the packaging of linux-headers-2.6.12-1, this could just as well concidered a bug in dpkg, as it looks like it handled this upgrade wrong.
