to be honest, I wasn't even aware of the format change until yesterday.

The symlinks were introduced to facilitate the transition from the

with these exact file names. Maybe it makes sense to remove them again
immediately after the next Debian stable release to prevent subtle bugs
like this. @roland what do you think?
