Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cobbler

I'm not sure why these symlinks are being handled in cobbler-
web.postint, but I do see two problems with them:

 1) one of the symlinks is wrong; it should be:
ln -sf /usr/share/cobbler/webroot/cobbler_webui_content /var/www/cobbler_webui_content

 2) we need ln -sf so that upgrade succeed;  otherwise, an upgrade of
this package will fail in the postinst if those symlinks are present

I'd rather see these moved entirely to a cobbler-web.links file.  But in
the mean time, let's fix what's just plain broken.
