I'm not entirely convinced that jokes on Twitter should be converted to
patches (unguarded by -DWITH_BAPT_GET_JOKE_LOL knob defauling to off)
that easily.

On a more technical note, your symlink is not quite right because it
contains absolute path while relative `pkg' is sufficient, much shorter,
and correct (think of NFS-mounted machine where absolute paths would be
pointing to local filesystem instead of remote).
