This is happening because the package is shipping the symlink as a
conffile. Generally speaking, this isn't a great idea, and dpkg's
handling of symlink-as-conffile cases is shockingly non-obvious.
Like most packages with symlink trees in /etc, what this should be doing
is not shipping the symlink as a file, but rather creating it in the
postinst on new installs (and only new installs), so a sysadming
choosing to remove the symlink won't have to worry about it coming back
spontaneously.
