File finddebuginfo-absolute-links.diff of Package rpm-python

From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@suse.de>
Subject: Do the symbolic links right in the first place

Since brp-symlink relinks symbolic links to enforce a certain policy we should
do it right in the first place. So this patch changes find-debuginfo.sh scripts
behavior to reflect that policy.
