Thanks for being a sounding board.

I'm assuming you're talking about something like:
ln -s /u/apps/flippy/current /var/www/flippy

There shouldn't be any issues doing something like that. Even though what the /u/apps/flippy/current is linked to will change every time you deploy, you can depend on /u/apps/flippy/current pointing to the active revision.
