Bug Description
It is sometimes extremely useful for an equivs-generated package to contain links (pointing to the files that it is pretending to have installed), in much the same way that it can supply files.
This patch adds that functionality.
This is vital for (for example) installing equivs-generated library/-dev packages to replace libaries that have not yet been supplied in multiarch form, bnut there are no doubt plenty of other uses for this feature.
