No, replacing the direction or even changing it back to how it is now
should be safe as long as the actual-file is installed first and the
link is installed after that. The current rules should provide that
behavior. However I believe the atomicity of installing the actual
file is still broken right now: it seems the old file is being
overwritten rather than replaced. I'll check that and fix it if it's
still the case.
