+1,

  A symlink packages is a simple fix to a lot of potential problems. By putting
symlink control in a single package, you also gain control over the symlink
issues that users are bound to create them on their own, and can easily
update/revise the symlink setup by updates to a single package.  I think it is a
good idea. Something like 'tde-tdesymlinks' or 'trinity-tdesymlinks' sounds like
a reasonable name.
