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
