using relative paths instead of absolute paths in the links allowed people
to put the packages in different locations on their systems, perhaps
allowing them to use multiple package trees from multiple providers, etc.

Thanks for the post but its a different scenario.  The question is about
the use of "." and ".." in the middle of a symlink.  For example,

  foo/../bar/./object

That is the scenario that *was* causing the problem.
