[Bug-wget] [bug #45037] wget -O foo ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux/mirrors/debian/README deletes README symlink

[Ángel]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #45037 (project wget):

It's clearly a bug. If we are downloading README to local file foo, there's no
reason to remove the local symlink README.

When we want to save into a name where there's currently a symlink,
consistency with shell > would dictate just to follow the link on writing, but
as that may lead to security issues, replacing with a file may also be
acceptable.
