python39-imaging 11.1.0-1 - weird packaging glitch

Today's update
python39-imaging 11.1.0-1
appears to contain a weird and probably trivial packaging error.
Under  
/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pillow-11.1.0.dist-info/
the two files METADATA and PKG-INFO.lnk are identical, and the 2nd is not a link.
I deleted it and created the link
$ ln -sf METADATA PKG-INFO
to achieve
lrwxrwxrwx 1    8 Mar 11 19:55 PKG-INFO -> METADATA
which I hope was the right thing to do?
