The kernel-devel package (which is what actually populates the build directory)
had a relative symlink to where the files are installed to (/usr/src/kernels).
That relative symlink was pointing to the wrong place in the new UsrMove world.
I fixed that yesterday.

I don't think the convertfs script really needs to deal with that, but if
Harald wants to do that then go for it.
