It normally creates them in the install step which the disto-packaged
versions don't repeat. If you need to move locations after a packaged
install it might work best to add symlinks to the original location
because the TopDir location becomes hardcoded in some places during the
install too.

It should only use the pool directory if you have disabled compression.
Otherwise the compressed/pooled links should be under cpool.
