Well, I believe the model for this was taken from older X packages, so
it's not like Alvar (who I believe instituted the change) created the
idiom out of whole cloth.

This may have already been said in a message I didn't see, but if
you're not going to have it install the links by default, the postinst
should definitely ask if they should be installed.
