Quoting the original reporter: this issue happens when using the fglrx
packages provided by AMD, where the /etc/ati directory is not a symbolic
link, but a real directory.

Modifying debian/fglrx.preinst.in can solve this issue:

diff --git a/fglrx.preinst.in b/fglrx.preinst.in
index 50bfd4a..10f4afb 100644
