That's right, it's just test data, used to test backup/retrieval.

In fact it's not even that:

t/sampledata/etc -> /etc

So the test is exposing issues with the installed packages on the test system!

I suspect the upstream author(s) thought that this is a neater way of having a
large-ish test suite of mostly textual data; it does mean that lots of analysis
will vary entirely depending on the system on which the test is being run.  At
some point in the past, they had a copy of a subset of one of the author's /etc
instead: this was problematic because they had init scripts for non-free stuff
copied in (vmware etc.)

Anyway, the merits of this symlink not withstanding, I guess bup is not
impacted by the /run transition.
