IIRC, the *debian* script was introduced because upstream script was
inheritantly broken at some point .... however i don't think this is
the case anymore ... except for the multi-level-link case I previously
mentioned. Mike, would you reconsider to give upstream scripts a try
again?

Attached the patch that fixes the only (blocker) bug that I am still
aware of.
