It's a side-effect from this fix which makes dodoc preserve symlinks
like doins does in EAPI 4:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356461
I guess that we could make doins automatically dereference any symlinks
that refer to files absolute paths. For symlinks that refer to
directories by absolute paths, we could continue to preserve the symlink
as we do now.
