[maemo-developers] Optification creates link-loop

[From: Cornelius Hald]

Thanks for all the answers, but I don´t think I´ll go down the 'manual 
putting links in /usr' route. I already spend too much time with 
packaging issues lately :(

Optification currently saves about 200KB of rootfs space for Conboy, so 
I´m doing optification mainly to pass the QA and I don´t want to spend 
more time on it then absolutely needed.

I´ll just hope that Marius finds some time to fix this and until then 
I´ll turn it off again.

Thanks for all the suggestions, though!
