I think this is wrong, and Andreas' proposal looks right to me:
1) The switch is from a symlink to a dir
2) The version where this is _handled_ is now, i.e. 1.9.7-3~
3) The package name is not needed (but shouldn't hurt)


Now some testing would be good but my piuparts-fu is not good enough
to test this uprade between a package in the archive and a locally
built package ... So I tried manually in a jessie chroot, installed
lemonldap-ng-doc, and then upgraded to 1.9.7-2 from the archive / 1.9.7-3
with Xavier's version / 1.9.7-3 with Andreas' version, but all three
end up like this (that's from the 3rd one):

# dpkg -i /home/gregoa/src/git-pkg-perl/meta/packages/build-area/lemonldap-ng-doc_1.9.7-3_all.deb
(Reading database ... 11584 files and directories currently installed.)

*headscratch*

Oh, there are no traces of the maintscript stuff in
lemonldap-ng-doc_1.9.7-3_all.deb!

*looking carefully*

debian/lemonldap-ng-doc.mainscript --> main_T_script

Yeah, this looks much better. Scripts in the deb, no warnings, and
/usr/share/doc/lemonldap-ng-doc/pages/documentation/current is a
directory.

Pushed to git, waiting with an upload for a test/sanity check of you
guys.


Cheers,
gregor
