Much more interesting is ls -ld, but I found the reason in the policy:

6.6 item 4:
   A directory will never be replaced by a symbolic link to a
   directory or vice versa; instead, the existing state (symlink or
                ^^^^^^^^^^
   not) will be left alone and `dpkg' will follow the symlink if
   there is one.

In the reply from Raphael for #428507 he says this should be handled in
the preinst script.

Schöne Grüße, Jörg.
