debian/config/misc-nonfree/defines looks like it might be missing the
targets of the symlinks (cxgb4/configs/t?-config-default.txt), meaning
the File entries get installed in the build directory through the WHENCE
processing, but those files aren't listed in the FILES variable when
building the binary package, so they don't end up being actually shipped,
hence the broken symlinks?
