Bug#935290: moar digging

[Mo Zhou]

Fresh installation is fine. /usr/share/perl6 should be a
symlink pointing to /usr/lib/perl6 in the latest version.
When directly upgrading rakudo to the expeirmental version,
this is not handled by dpkg.

I've fixed the upgrade issue in rakduo 2019.07.1-2 (experimental).
Later when the binary is avaialble in mirrors, I'll test
rakudo with the following dockerfile. If anything looks fine,
I'll start uploading 2019.07 to unstable.

from    debian:sid
workdir /tmp

contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
run     apt update -y
run     apt dist-upgrade -y
run     apt autoremove -y

# fresh install [OK]
#run    apt install -t experimental rakudo -y
#run    perl6 -e '"Hello Perl6!".say'

# sid->experimental upgrade [unverified]
run     apt install -t sid rakudo -y
run     perl6 -e '"Hello Perl6!".say'
run     apt install -t experimental rakudo -y
run     perl6 -e '"Hello Perl6!".say'
