What I meant was that if the link was to ../contrib it would still be
under the cooker/i586 directory, and thus still mirrored (even though it
would have been a "remove completely - download completely" -- it still
would have been under the mirrored tree - an inconvenience).
With the fact that it is "../../../contrib" effectively puts it outside
the mirrored tree, thus basically removing it from the mirror completely
(totally absurd).

Agreed. Not happy about it myself.
