The actual issue here is that ureadahead is storing symlinks in the pack file at all.

It has no way of knowing where those paths point when reading the pack file back off the disk on next boot, as in this case they may point to locations that are ignored by ureadahead normally.

And in any case it is capturing the targets of the symlinks in the trace, so these files are represented already, so there's no reason to store the symlink as well.

I'm working on a proposed code change to no longer include symlinks in the pack files.
