Actually, that would amount to getting down a quite deep rabbit
hole. Those links, even if they exist, might have been created by the
postinst script of some package, or by the local sysadmin. In the
former case, removing them blindly will probably cause at least a dpkg
error at the next upgrade of the corresponding package. In the latter
case, removing them blindly might possibly cause breakage to some
functionality put in place by the sysadmin and/or undesired
side-effects.
