Ratchanan Srirattanamet e6a91ad5db scripts/halium: deal with (broken) symlink in sync_dirs 
This is our version of [1] from Snap's initramfs. The original commit read:

> The sync_dirs() has a test -e that fails to take broken symlinks
> into account. This means that symlinks that are broken when
> sync_dir runs (which is a very special environment) are not
> copied. This breaks e.g. the symlink snapd.snap-repair.timer
> in /etc/systemd/system/timer-target.wants.

In our case, we want this so that having `/etc/systemd` on
writable-paths' `synced` mode works properly.

FAQ

I'm getting a strange error when I try to build

Try deleting your chroots (normally in the build/ directory) and building again.

I can't delete my chroots! They say that something is busy!

Just run umount build/*/* to unmount anything that's mounted. If that doesn't work, reboot your computer. The mounts should be gone after that. Then you can delete the chroots.
