Using ln -s you do specify the text that is stored in the file record
in the directory.
So ln -s /etc/X11/XF86Config debian/tmp/this/link/is/stupid
will create a link:
debian/tmp/this/link/is/stupid -> /etc/X11/XF86Config
(at least it should...)
In your example you could also use a relative linkt ../../etc/X11...
