This symlink is created via

dh_link lib/systemd/system/rpcbind.service 
lib/systemd/system/portmap.service

I wonder if debhelper can do something about this or if this is one of 
the cases where the package is best updated manually.

I suspect we have a few packages which create such aliasing symlinks via 
*.links files or explicit calls to dh_link


Niels, what's your thought on this?
