Followup-For: Bug #1104806
Please don't.
Debian policy is in the wrong here, is out of date for a long time and
does not reflect best modern practices regarding symlink use.
Relative symlinks, including in top-level root directories, are
preferable to absolute symlinks, because they make it safer to work with
chroots and containers from outside of them.
Good luck trying to change the policy, open bugs exist for years [1]
