I vaguely remember that replacing a symlink with a file during a package
update was causing some issues (i.e. the target is updated but the
symlink isn't replaced). If that's still true I'd refrain from applying
this change to maven-debian-helper. The slight deviation from the Java
policy isn't worth the trouble, and I'd instead amend the policy to
accept what has been done de facto for years.
