I'm not a maintainer.... Hard links could not cross partitions in some versions of Unix so a simple copy sounds better.

"Symbolic link not allowed" is an errormessage from your Apache because the options FollowSymlinks or SymlinkMustMatchOwner (these are not the exact names) are not set to +. The default configuration of the most apaches forbids symlinks. A question for package maintainers, does it be problem to use hard links? I think download.cer in the public interface has the same problem. LN_S is a default variable of autoconf. LN for hard links is not supported by autoconf. The other option would be a simple copy. Any arguments pro and cons for hard links vs. simple copy vs. symlinks?
