Hi Jaap,

When running buildpacket, it follows the symlink usr/sbin/in.ntalkd and chmod's what it
points to and not the symlink itself.
Fixed in cvs. Thanks for pointing that out. Now, buildpacket should not chmod any symlinks anymore (since chmod can't change the permissions of a link anyway).

Another point (and why I found this): I first used "Target = in.talkd", but this fails,
because it makes a symlink to /in.talkd. Wouldn't it be easier and clearer to have 
Target
contain the absolute or relative path the symlink should point to in the final package?
Then one could also use parent-dir. references for example.
Well, there are two reasons why I wouldn't like such a change.
- it would mean extra work coding that, and making sure it actually works (read, I'm lazy ;-))
- more importantly, it would introduce an inconsistency - every other filename is specified relative to / in the package (or relative to the buildtool staging dir for the source file) - and the only thing that would be different would be links. To me, it would seem harder to understand why links are treated differently than everything else.
