I've done some investigation and it appears that the problem is that
TreeTransform has multiple bugs where a versioned symlink to a directory
is replaced with an actual directory, containing any children in common
with those accessible via the former symlink.

This is going beyond my current knowledge of TreeTransform, so I don't
think I'm going to be able to fix this myself.

The easiest way to reproduce this is to try to successively "bzr
import-dsc" live-build 2.0~a21-1 and then 2.0~a22-1
