Bug description:
  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 :-)
