Suggestion:
  post/preinstall scripts that MOVE or RENAME files must "retain the
filename"
i.e.

	$ mv prev-name new-name
	$ ln -s prev-name new-name

  preremove script:

	$ rm prev-name
	$ rm new-name

Would this work?
Could at least be a "interrim solution", don't you think?

Is it possible to list (add) a filename in the archive in some way? (HOW?)
