inconsistency in the symlinks under /etc/systemd

[Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.net>]

Hi,

On one machine, I have

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2023-10-07 13:43:24 /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/dm-event.socket -> /lib/systemd/system/dm-event.socket

and on another one, I have

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2024-01-05 16:54:09 /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/dm-event.socket -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/dm-event.socket

These symlinks were created at Debian installation time, and in
both cases, the dmeventd version is 2:1.02.196-1+b1.

Shouldn't the system ensure that symlinks are consistent on different
machines (even though the above symlinks are equivalent), for instance
to ease the comparison of configurations between machines?

For instance, shouldn't usr-is-merged convert the symlinks to a
canonical path?
