[h <hparad@xxxxxx>]

when building kernel-sources with quilt i struggled about symlinks created
in other folders.
had to add:
index 18b765f..6e5caa8 100644

 ln -sf ../include ubuntu/vbox/vboxvideo/include
+rm -f ubuntu/vbox/r0drv/r0drv
+rm -f ubuntu/vbox/include/include


Better way should be to check if symlink exist.
