The more important point is that it also works for people installing 
Sugar from packages on their own system, without manual symlink 
fiddling. My imagined use case is someone doing a "full" Sugar desktop 
installation (by using a corresponding meta package) and wanting to try 
out the latest Read release now featuring continuous scrolling (entirely 
fictional).
