Description:
I use a links from "/var/lib/backuppc" to redirect the backups to
another filesystem as config.pl suggests.
On package-update backuppc erases the "/var/lib/backuppc" link
and replaces it with a "real" directory.

Steps to reproduce:
Reinstall backuppc
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Don't replace managed dirs with symlinks. If you have to, use a bind mount.
