[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#413604: mailman: /var/log and /var/lock symlinks should be absolute

Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.9-7
Severity: normal


/var/lib/mailman/locks should link to /var/lock/mailman, 
  not to ../../locl/mailman

/var/lib/mailman/logs/ should like to /var/log/mailman
  not to ../../log/mailman

All the other  symlinks in the package are to absolute paths.
This makes it easy to move the entire /var/lib/mailman directory
to someplace other than the /var filesystem when it grows
too large.
