I may just not have had enough coffee, but AFAICS the locations that
the other links are created in are absolute, but their targets are
still relative.

For example:

ln -sf guide.$lang.txt $webdocdir/manuals/apt-guide/apt-guide.$lang.txt

results in

adsb@wolkenstein:~$ find /srv/www.debian.org/www/doc/manuals/apt-guide/ -type l -name "*.txt" -ls
