Bad bugs in gcc-mingw package (ATTN: CGF)

[Max Bowsher]

I've posted a couple of times about these bugs in the gcc-mingw package
preremove script.

Chris: I think you are its maintainer - if not, sorry.
If yes, no problem if you don't have time to deal with it now, but could you
just confirm you've noticed my email?

Thanks,

Max.

The gcc-mingw package uses an _extremely_ strange packaging scheme. Why does
it do this?

Anyway, there are 2 bug in the preremove script:

1) If file-that-we-need exists, then bail out.
Obviously, this should be: If file-that-we-need does NOT exist, then bail
out.

2) Missing quote.

Max.
