[Sorry, hit submit too early...]

We currently (via KIWI) create media with Joliet extension but without the
'-f' option [follow links] to genisoimage. The problem with this is that
Joliet only extends filenames but not filetypes (unlike RR). So symlinks
are lost.

The outcome is that people copying our media to a server with some Windows
software won't get it right. (ISTR we got reports in that area from the
s390 side in the past.)

I've checked a few of our old media and e.g. sles11 is ok (mastered with
-J & -f) while 11.1 is not (only -J).

I think the -f got lost when we switched to kiwi. Maybe we should
add -f again.
