It looks like this bug has a few duplicates and other implications, such
as to logwatch in bug 1010625. So I think the original bug should
remain, since most comments here pertain to that, and it is useful to
keep this bug to help track anything else that has been affected by this
change.
I have created bug 1181264 to track the symlink wishlist item.
Note that I'm tentatively marking this Won't Fix for the same reason as
Phillip's justification. Those annoyed by this should note that it isn't
always clear that a decision to make a change will turn out to be
controversial or cause disruption. This appears to be the case here.
It's reasonable to make changes that aren't expected to have wider
consequences or controversy as otherwise we'd get nothing done. But now
that you've presented the controversy, the Ubuntu Code of Conduct
clearly requires us to seek consensus.
Seeking consensus on this bug is clearly not going to be productive, as
there will be obvious consensus amongst those affected by this bug (and
therefore those who find the bug), and those with other use cases will
be left out completely, since they won't know about the bug. So if you'd
like to see this changed, then please seek consensus for a fix on the
appropriate mailing lists.
I also don't see anything in the Ubuntu delta regarding this. Has this
change actually been made in Debian or upstream? If so, the appropriate
venue to discuss this issue may also be upstream.
