Yes, you're right, I've used a bad example but, I remember that at
least one time, ~10 years ago, I tried to search something under /etc
(CentOS), and got dragged into /var/log, it was "terrifying"...
"Debian culture" is the way to go.

Nevertheless, besides my bad example, it doesn't change the fact that,
that symlink is a crap.    :-P
