That's easy. Just inform the package manager of your intentions:

$ dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/mythmetadatalookup.orig --rename
/usr/bin/mythmetadatalookup 

That will instruct any package trying to install
/usr/bin/mythmetadatalookup to instead install it to
/usr/bin/mythmetadatalookup.orig. Your symlink won't get clobbered.
