[Bug 983187] Re: dpkg-divert: --add --rename --package shouldn't rename if owned by package

[Steve Langasek]

This is only of medium importance, but we should really try to get it
done before 12.04.0 since it has long-ranging implications for LTS
upgrades if we don't get it fixed and if we have another issue like the
libc6-i386/libc6:i386 linker conflict in the future.

Title:
  dpkg-divert: --add --rename --package shouldn't rename if owned by
  package

Status in dpkg:
  Unknown
Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When calling dpkg-divert --add --rename --package <package>, the file
  being diverted is renamed regardless of owner.  If the file is owned
  by <package>, it really shouldn't be moved at all, but the diversion
  just added to the DB without any file ops.
