This symlink is made deliberately so user could install openflashchart.
Obviously we can not ship pre-built binary blob and (unfortunately) some

Good thing is that upstream is already (slowly) working on replacing 
Openflashchart with free alternative.

I hope that eventually I'll be able to remove that symlink.
