In that sense every symlink is danergerous including relative ones: if it contains too many ".." you'll end up outside the chroot anyway if accessed from outside. If accessed from inside the chroot, absolute paths are even securer when being root. Chroots (with external access, e.g. not within) aren't used by package consumers, but package builders and testers. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
