Because the dir is still poplulated by files (well, symlinks) to ease
partial upgrades. We can't jus throw them away right now unless wchange
all dicts again...

And anyway, who should own  this symlink? dictionaries-common
might have been a candidate, but it's far too late now (I'll now go throug
the hassle of NMUing most dicts myself).

Why didn't you suggest that when the plan was outlined :)

That is a reason, but then again you can also make backports of this
with the current thing (ifeqs in rules, debian/rules control target before the
build, ..)
