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. p.
