Symlink replaces are not working with apko, but do with apk-tools

[xnox]

with the modified wolfi-base, which has two subpackages, that ship the same symlink, with different target destination and replaces of one another, it works with apk tools, but not with apko:

$ make package/wolfi-base
$ make local-wolfi
# apk add package-with-symlink
(1/1) Installing package-with-symlink (1-r8)
OK: 14 MiB in 16 packages
# readlink /etc/some.conf 
../run/target1.conf
# apk add package-with-symlink-replaces
(1/1) Installing package-with-symlink-replaces (1-r8)
OK: 14 MiB in 17 packages
# readlink /etc/some.conf 
../run/target2.conf
# exit
$ make test/wolfi-base
