we have a bugreport to change a relative symlink to an absolute symlink

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14895. I don't really get the point where there difference will be and if the links would be broken when using different filesystems/partitions and links in itself.

Without reading the bug report: relative links are almost always better than absolute ones.
