If I understand you correctly the problem does *not* occure in Debian
but only in Ubuntu?  If yes, please decrease the bug severity to
something like minor to not spoil the BTS.  Even if the problem is not
release critical because the package is not in testing it might distract
people from relevant problems.  I do not want to say that we should not
care about this but problems that do not occure in Debian are not grave
at all.
 
BTW, the sequence debian/links entries should be totally irrelevant
because it is resolved to independent "ln -s" calls which should simply
work in any sequence.  So far for the theory - I'd keen on learning
new things from practice.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
