Can't think of any really good ways. Possibilities: either make all
the links absolute file:/// links or have README.Debian.html contain a
redirect header instead of being a symlink (the following is
unchecked):
<html>
<head>
<title>README.Debian for texlive</title>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh"
content="URL=TeX-on-Debian.html/index.html">
</head>
<body>
<p>
This page has moved; if your browser doesn't automatically redirect
to its new location, click <a
href="TeX-on-Debian.html/index.html">here</a>.
</p>
</body>
</html>
