The reason for these symlinks is to avoid issues with people not merging inittab.pacnew.
why not let natural selection do its work?
Because I would be the first to succumb to this ;-)
On a serious note: Ignoring .pacsave files from initscripts should never break your boot.
In the past, we once adjusted inittab using 'sed'. People protested, but it was important. if [ "$(vercmp $2 2009.07)" -lt 0 ]; then echo "==> Adjusting /etc/inittab for transition to /dev/tty standard." echo "==> Original file saved as /etc/inittab.pacsave" sed -i'.pacsave' 's#vc/\([0-9]\)#tty\1#' /etc/inittab fi We needed to do this when we removed some old devfs-compat device nodes that had been there way too long. This can be done safely.
