Do you have a proposal we can agree and follow?
If the problem is the symlinking is done, let's change it.

Unfortunately, I do not have a decent connectivity here so I cannot do much than
replying mail with a web interface.
I should normally be able to log in on sv.gnu.org soon (no ssh for now), but not

as before, you can change what you need the way you want.
