There shouldn't be any problems with this.  You may get a warning from the 
mtree phase of installworld (something to the effect of "found symlink, 
expecting directory") but otherwise you should be fine.

As an aside, I thought RM PLC had hijacked all of the software in most 
schools these days.  Glad to see that isn't the case everywhere.
