Bug Description
The orig tarball symlink that git-ubuntu creates as a result of export-orig is absolute:
```
drwxrwxr-x 29 andreas andreas 50 jan 5 10:40 unbound
lrwxrwxrwx 1 andreas andreas 113 jan 5 10:41 unbound_
```
In my workflow, I sometimes rsync that directory structure to a container, to test builds, and the symlink is then broken because the container does not have an `andreas` user, just `ubuntu`.
My suggestion is to make that symlink relative:
```
drwxrwxr-x 29 andreas andreas 50 jan 5 10:40 unbound
lrwxrwxrwx 1 andreas andreas 113 jan 5 10:41 unbound_
```
