I think I've hit the same bug while working on an opencryptoki version
bump for questing.

I could successfully build the new version locally (without -proposed), but it failed when I did a test build in PPA, where I have -proposed enabled:
https://launchpad.net/~fheimes/+archive/ubuntu/lp2116720/+build/31009089/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-questing-s390x.opencryptoki_3.25.0+dfsg-0ubuntu1_BUILDING.txt.gz

Did another test build in PPA without -proposed (to double-check) and it worked:
https://launchpad.net/~fheimes/+archive/ubuntu/lp2116720-default/+build/31009291/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-questing-s390x.opencryptoki_3.25.0+dfsg-0ubuntu1_BUILDING.txt.gz

The suspicious lines in the build log are:
"
cp: cannot create symlink 'opencryptoki' to 'sbin': File exists (os error 17)
dh_install: error: cp --reflink=auto -a debian/tmp
"

And this led my finding this bug. This blocks/prevents me from
uploading: LP#2116720

Bug description:
  uutils `cp -a` fails to copy a symlink-to-an-existing-directory into
  another directory

  mkdir foo
  mkdir dst
  ln -s foo bar
  cp -a bar dst
  > cp: cannot create symlink 'dst' to 'foo': File exists (os error 17)

  gnucp -a bar dst --verbose
  > 'bar' -> 'dst/bar'

  This affects dh_install when a symlink to an existing directory is
  listed in debian/install
