Ok, I have to admit I'm not entirely sure what fpLookupSubdir is trying to fix. It was added by Florian in commits c6ccc90d7fef0f1b65e4bf5b77d5b800d4b53ffd and af3464a053ecb0b56cc5af494ea22955fb350757, unfortunately without a reference to some bug.

It seems to be about having a symlink in one to-be-installed package and then installing over that symlink in another to-be-installed package, but that use case does not work reliable anyway because the symlink package must be installed first for it to work.

Florian, do you remember more details what this was about?
