Please use CVE-2010-2061 for this.

My read of Guillem's report at 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=583435#5 suggests
that we 
might have two distinct issues here:

- "*any* user can craft those two files before the daemon
has started for the first time, which the daemon will parse."  Nothing
to do with symlinks.

Let's use CVE-2010-2061 for this one.


- symlinks are followed on creation of those files

Let's use CVE-2010-2064 for this one.

Thanks.
