Unfortunately, this has not held up in LTSes without causing regressions, specifically in crun:
Crun issue and patch
So thre's a fix already for this, they agree that symlinks shouldn't have modes, so what's the issue?
The problem is that it breaks crun in Debian stable. They have fixed the issue in crun, but that patch may not be backported to Debian's stable version. In other words the patch seems to break existing software in the wild.
It will be backported to Debian stable if the kernel in Debian stable has this change in it, right? That should be simple to get accepted.
