Details:

Using version 1.2.8, it seems like timestamp information (ctime/mtime) is not
saved properly for symbolic links.

Here's a simple example to reproduce the issue:

address@hidden:~# rdiff-backup -V
rdiff-backup 1.2.8
address@hidden:~# mkdir orig bkp
address@hidden:~# cd orig/
address@hidden:~/orig# touch a
address@hidden:~/orig# ln -s a b
address@hidden:~/orig# cd ..
address@hidden:~# ls -l orig/
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 27 sep 05:35 a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 27 sep 05:35 b -> a
[... waited for 1 min]
address@hidden:~# rdiff-backup orig/ bkp/
address@hidden:~# ls -l bkp/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 27 sep 05:35 a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    1 27 sep 05:36 b -> a
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 27 sep 05:36 rdiff-backup-data
