As pointed out by Chris Dumont in the matching Debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611659#20
the problem here is not the symlink, but the fact that the update.cf from the examples directory is still using the old path, thus causing the symlink to be used, whereas it can just as easily point directly at /etc/cfengine3, so don't mess around with the symlinks, particularly since that breaks FHS, but rather just fix the broken example configuration file.
