Bug#932833: postgresql-11-postgis-2.5-scripts: Version 2.5.2+dfsg-1 has no content outside /usr/share/doc/

[Mark Jeffcoat]

Package: postgresql-11-postgis-2.5-scripts
Version: 2.5.2+dfsg-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

The first symptom I noticed was in psql, complaining that 
     > create extension postgis;
    ERROR:  could not open extension control file "/usr/share/postgresql/11/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
    

I believe the cause is that upgrading postgresql-11-postgis-2.5-scripts to version 2.5.2
deleted all the useful contents of this package, as shown below.

After downgrading both postgresql-11-postgis-2.5 and postgresql-11-postgis-2.5-scripts
to 2.5.1+dfsg-1, the extension seems to be working again.


Thank you for your help.
