[Bug 275449] certctl: changed link flags lead to inconsistencies when installing into non-standard DESTDIR

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=275449

--- Comment #3 from Martin Birgmeier <d8zNeCFG@aon.at> ---
It makes the following scenario perform worse than before the change:
- Install into /usr/tmp/x (on one filesystem)
- From there copying of changed files to /
- But / and /usr are on separate filesystems
- As a result, the files in /etc/ssl are now single-link copies of what is also
in /usr/share/certs, leading to a waste of space

I believe keeping the symlinks would not hurt as they are typically short
enough to fit into the inode itself, thereby not occupying more space than a
hard link.
