Suggestion:
post/preinstall scripts that MOVE or RENAME files must "retain the
filename"
i.e.
$ mv prev-name new-name
$ ln -s prev-name new-name
preremove script:
$ rm prev-name
$ rm new-name
Would this work?
Could at least be a "interrim solution", don't you think?
Is it possible to list (add) a filename in the archive in some way? (HOW?)
