For the short term, I will provide a redhat compatibility package that provides the symbolic links, etc., so that redhat packages will work on Debian systems. Thus, the ugly symbolic links will only be there if you ask for redhat compatibility. This is preparatory to arriving at some sort of way of merging our binary package formats, or at least installing both kinds of package on one system.
