Merging three direcories in postinst

Hi, in the Haskell packaging we have made a mistake that we want to work-around without having to sourcefully upload 230 packages. Eventually, we will have to do these uploads anyways (with the next major ghc release), so the work-around will not be in place forever. Here is the situation: A has

Order of dpkg triggers
