Ok, this is an argument. For us it means, that we should make the
symlink section on the website more dominant, for example with an
Warning triangle which we use it in the manual. On the other side,
Kevin mentioned in this chat, too, that he will insert a check in the
install-pkgs.sh script for these symlinks.

Greetings, Carsten
