I wanted to followup with more information, but got distracted by something ...

now we get

0m58.5s ERROR: FAIL: silently overwrites files via directory symlinks:

Probably this should fix it (UNTESTED!):

in openexr.maintscript add (don't replace the existing bits, they will be needed for upgrades from jessie)

      symlink_to_dir /usr/share/doc/openexr libopenexr6v5 2.2.0-4~

and the corresponding bits for libopenexr-dev, too

Hm, curious how many more packages will fall into this trap due to the GCC v5 library renames ...
