[Bug 2130706] [NEW] /usr/share/rustc change from directory to symlink

Public bug reported:

Hello Max!

Here is your bug about the upgrade path for /usr/share/rustc change from being a directory in whatever older rust-default version to being a symlink in the newest ones.
Basically we'll need to make sure that the newest packages will remove any existing directory to be able to replace it with a symlink.

For the context, I faced that situation on my Ubuntu devel (right now
resolute) laptop, that is basically rolling release, so I'm not sure how
normal users are affected right now.


Happy bug fixing :-)
