I don't think this would be an especially big deal.  The whole contents
of base-files is already fairly distro-specific and almost any
non-trivial distro is probably going to be either adjusting or replacing
that recipe anyway.

Alternatively, one could argue that these symlinks have nothing much to
do with the rest of base-files and they should go in a completely
separate recipe which the distro could add to IMAGE_INSTALL if it
wished.  That might be even better.
