Actually, I didn't check that carefully, but here is how filename is
generated by repo-add :
  echo -e "%FILENAME%\n$(basename "$1")\n" >>desc

And at the beginning of db_write_entry function :
  local pkgfile=$(readlink -f "$1")

So that means readlink is not used for the FILENAME, and only the
basename of the file is put there, so not the full path.
