simplify slogin and slogin.1 symlinks

I'm almost afraid to file this because it's so trivial :-)

Debian packages are often run through an automated lint-type program
called lintian, which checks for a wide variety of problems from the
severe to the trivial.  We usually try to keep its output short in
order to make it easier to see severe problems.  At the trivial end of
the scale, it complains about symlinks with unnecessary segments like
"./".  There's certainly no benefit in these, so would you apply the
attached patch to simplify the links and shut it up?

Thanks!
