Correct method:

	if [ ! -e ${DESTDIR}/etc/rmt]; then		\
		ln -s ${BINDIR}/rmt ${DESTDIR}/etc/rmt	\
	fi

It is not nice for make world to touch things in /etc, no matter what
it is.  The unsilent ignoreing of the error above was a quick hack
by some one who did not bother to do it correctly.

Forceful removal of my very different symbolic link in /etc is going
to make me submit a bug report :-).
