That's not a link loop, because "." is not a symbolic link.
But if a tree traversal is instructed to follow symbolic links, then the
traversal becomes endless recursion which is quite equivalent to an
endless loop.

I guess it would work better with zip option --symlinks.
But FAT cannot represent symbolic links. So in the FAT filesystem you will
possibly need at least one layer of duplication to emulate the link.
I.e. a copy of the whole file tree which is accessible via /debian. In
that copy there will probably be no need for another tree under
/debian/debian.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
