You don't need it for the rest of eternity. We create the
postinst, prerm now, installing the symlink, Once the move is over,
we just have a script removing teh symlink. another release,
(potato+2), we stop bothering, since we would have handled the most
common case (and provide an upgrade script removing teh symlinks for
upgrades at that point).
Yes, this is a long period, but not forever.
