right.

i don't think there are actual breakages in the use, but it breaks the standard.

there will be a bunch of package trees where all the files are in All with
symlinks and then one tree with files in lots of directories and symlinks
in All.

i am pretty sure this will catch *somebody* out.. or break something at
some point, so personally i would recommend we stick with the existing
standard.
