New description:

 Similarly to `SAGE_ROOT`, it might be good to resolve symbolic links in
 `$HOME/.sage` when assigning `DOT_SAGE`.  This can be useful for example
 when `$HOME/.sage` is a symbolic link to a non-existent directory (the
 directory would be created later in `sage-sage`).

 Probably we should use whatever solution comes from #5852.
