Because it performs worse, which makes it less used in general, which makes it less tested, which makes it less trustworthy. I thought that was already clarified at bug#679665.

As I already mentioned in bug#679665, replacing files with symlinks are bad here, because some web server setups treat symlinks specially. Apart from the symlinking, it seems you are talking about same as my option c) as clarified at http://bugs.debian.org/679665#25 . It is helpful that you introduce _different_ approaches if you have ideas you think might be better, but less helpful to repost existing ones rephrased. Please do elaborate if I am mistaken and your proposal is really a new one.
