As I asked on IRC at the time, why is creating symlinks on the expected locations to the base directories not good enough? Adding support for this seems to me would be a very special case, would require to specify this somewhere, and you might as well just add that as part of the debian/rules already. So I'm kind of failing a bit to see the need for this. If there's no convincing arguments put forward I'll probably be closing this request in a bit. Thanks, Guillem
