this is indeed wrong, even if probably useless.
I pushed a fix in deferred/5, I can't commit on git because it seems outdated

I did keep changes minimal, at this point of Stretch development, I think
it is better to keep an useless symlink (correct) instead of dropping it without
a deep knowledge of its reverse-dependencies.

Maybe for Buster we can consider a drop?

thanks!

Gianfranco
(and happy new year)
