Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 perry@…]:
 > From my brief testing, prefixing the destroot path to the absolute path
 is not what you want; you end up with symlinks referencing paths in
 destroot.

 What I meant was, when checking to see if the target of the symlink
 exists, prepend the destroot if the target is an absolute path. When
 creating the new replacement symlink to the compressed manpage, of course
 you would not prepend the destroot.
