Public bug reported:

It is sometimes extremely useful for an equivs-generated package to
contain links (pointing to the files that it is pretending to have
installed), in much the same way that it can supply files.

This patch adds that functionality.

This is vital for (for example)  installing equivs-generated
library/-dev packages to replace libaries that have not yet been
supplied in multiarch form, bnut there are no doubt plenty of other uses
for this feature.
