This is the case for clean installs, but if one upgrades from a previous 
version, the directory is not converted to a symlink. A call to 
dpkg-maintscript-helper should be all that is needed to resolve it. 

The attached patch contains an attempt at that. Tested by installing 
libjs-jquery-ui in a jessie chroot and upgrading to sid.

before:

# ls -ld /usr/share/javascript/jquery-ui/css/smoothness/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb  3 03:14 /usr/share/javascript/jquery-ui/css/smoothness/

after:

# ls -ld /usr/share/javascript/jquery-ui/css/smoothness
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Feb  3 03:20 /usr/share/javascript/jquery-ui/css/smoothness -> ../themes/base

Hope this helps,
Ryan
