Package: symlinks
Version: 1.2-4.2 

Build a linux kernel using a separate build directory, cd to include2
in the build directory, and do 

$  symlinks -cs .
absolute: /home/peterc/kernels/build/i386/linux-2.6-usrdrivers/include2/asm -> 
/home/peterc/kernels/linux-2.6-usrdrivers/include/asm-i386
changed: /home/peterc/kernels/build/i386/linux-2.6-usrdrivers/include2/asm -> 
../../../../../../../home/peterc/kernels/linux-2.6-usrdrivers/


Then do it again:

$  symlinks -cs .
lengthy: /home/peterc/kernels/build/i386/linux-2.6-usrdrivers/include2/asm -> 
../../../../../../../home/peterc/kernels/linux-2.6-usrdrivers/include/asm-i386
changed: /home/peterc/kernels/build/i386/linux-2.6-usrdrivers/include2/asm -> 
../../../../linux-2.6-usrdrivers/include/asm-i386


Why should I have to do this twice?

(This bug is related to #153496 except there the -s is not specified.
If I specifically ask for shortened links, I should get them.)
