Surely we will support symbolic links. But for me the main problem about this is doing integration tests rather than having this as a feature. You do NOT have to create the symlinks on the disc to build a package. To me symlinks should be configured like file permissions, etc. That is what also happens for solaris-pkg in the proto files. The unix-maven-plugin should allow a generic configuration of symlinks in such configuration (/path/to/link=/path/to/source) and be able to support this for creating TAR, Deb, RPM, ...
