After upgrading a system from lenny to squeeze the post-update hook is a
dangling symbolic link:

# readlink ~gitosis/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/hooks/post-update 
/usr/share/python-support/gitosis/gitosis-0.2-py2.5.egg/gitosis/templates/admin/hooks/post-update
#

And the latter file of course does no longer exist. The bad part about
this is that revoking permission via gitosis.conf does not have any
effect anymore and this goes without any visible warning message in
syslog whatsoever. (This is what makes me add the security tag. If the
security team feels different, I ask them to remove the tag.)

The intended link target seems to be
/usr/share/pyshared/gitosis/templates/admin/hooks/post-update now. Given
that filename has not been that constant in the past, but its contents
have, I would suggest to copy it rather than link it.
