I think we've already found out that the opinions *aren't* equal.
So far the score seems to be:
Red Hat: will use relative symlink
Solaris: will use hardwired path in program
???: will use absolute symlink
Peter's patch supports only the third case, which no packager has yet
committed to use (though I suppose Debian might like to). It just gets
in the way for the other two cases.
