Dangling symbolic links should be allowed to appear in blueprints as files (which already works) and in source tarballs (which does not work).
Dangling symbolic links in the root directory of a source tarball (/usr/local, for example) are ignored completely. Dangling symbolic links in subdirectories raise ENOENT, which should not be raised. In all of these cases, a warning should probably be printed.
