Building a packages involves calling 'make install', resulting in a 
conflict. Maybe a new target can be added, like 'make install-compat' 
that can add such symlink, used only from command line when wanted.

On the other hand, with this upcoming release we are going to get rid of 
'openser' references (e.g., in database name, users, ...), so there will 
be a dedicated session to underline these changes, where we lose some 
backward compatible stuff (including in Perl scripting, perhaps 
snmpstats stuff, ...).

Cheers,
Daniel
