One thing you have to be careful of, no matter which way you decide, is that
you MUST NOT change a directory to a symlink or the other way round or RPM
will get terribly confused on upgrades.
(There are bizarre (and easy to get wrong) scriptlet workarounds that can be
used, but avoiding the mess in the first place is probably the best
solution.)
