Suggestion: Goal towards a cleanlinks compliant Ubuntu.

Currently, cleanlinks is not friendly to Ubuntu. The use of it cripple the
system and applications into unusable state. However the purpose of
cleanlinks is very positive towards a lean and clean system.

/usr/bin/cleanlinks removes broken symbolic links and empty directories,
it's use can be good for all advantages, and it can also lessen the spins of
a desktop live cd.

All Ubuntu applications should create directories that it needs, when it
doesn't exists. Use locate function to search for a specific file and
directories, and not rely on symbolic links.

Implementing those features to all Ubuntu applications will make the system
smart. And I think cleanlinks should be use regularly upon shutdown.

Regards,
Joel
