If the rc2.d link points into /os, then presumably it's part of a
package which was installed in symlink mode, and it will attempt to
run programs which are also symlinks pointing to /os. So bringing
just the links local wouldn't help much.
I'll let Bob decide whether the packages themselves need to be brought
local.
