Bug#687654: (no subject)

[Emmanuel Kasper]

it seems the problem stems from the use of symbolic links in xmess-sdl,
xmess-x, xmame-x. xmame-sdl in debian 6

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=685653#25 details the
same problem in another debian package

on a debian 6
dpkg -L xmess-x | xargs file | grep "symbolic link"
/usr/share/doc/xmess-x:             symbolic link to `xmess-common'
/usr/share/man/man6/xmess.x11.6.gz: symbolic link to `xmess.6.gz
