Actually, the package does not remove the symlink, it just does not include it (a subtle difference :-). This means you can create the symlink by hand and then it will be preserved (removing the symlink deliberately would be too strong...) If we are able to modify all our software to comply with the standards, the symlinks will go away in the next Debian stable release (i.e. base-files_2.0.0 will not include the symlinks, as now). Being mostly FSSTND-compliant is a release goal for Debian 2.0 (it was already a release goal for Debian 1.3, just that we didn't remove the symlinks in bo when bo was unstable, so we didn't find the bugs). If you report a bug on this, you may tag it as "important" by adding the following pseudoheader: Severity: important in the bug report.
