Thanks for taking a look at this!

If/when I pick it up again, I'll definitely re-check if symlinks can
be used.

It's been a while since I authored this, but my recollection is that
since the tar is not extracted "in whole" (to preserve space,
I assume), there is no target of the symlink to reference.

From: package/base-files/files/lib/upgrade/nand.sh (master)

nand_do_platform_check() {
         local board_name="$1"
         local tar_file="$2"
         local control_length=`(tar xf $tar_file 
sysupgrade-$board_name/CONTROL -O | wc -c) 2> /dev/null`
         local file_type="$(identify $2)"

         [ "$control_length" = 0 -a "$file_type" != "ubi" -a 
"$file_type" != "ubifs" ] && {
                 echo "Invalid sysupgrade file."
                 return 1
         }

         return 0
}


As this was primarily to handle upgrades from older firmware versions,
the upgrade tar needs to be compatible with previous code, which
`git blame` shows as commit 3dca5a158d, SVN-Revision: 41222, 2014-06-16
