Sorry,I am not sure what you mean... make a symlink to/from what?...here is what i did..

1. Made the deb in system home directory /home/vern like this (fakeroot dpkg -b jiboia jiboia.deb)
2. Copied the deb like this to scratchbox (on same machine):
vern at N800-hacker:/home/vern# cp jiboia.deb /scratchbox/users/vern/home/vern/
3. Tried to install the deb:
[sbox-SDK_ARMEL: ~] > fakeroot dpkg -i jiboia.deb
(Reading database ... 17741 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking jiboia (from jiboia.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing jiboia.deb (--install):
 error creating directory `./home/user': Permission denied
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 jiboia.deb
