I would advise against using too many manually created links. Better patch
the scripts to support the "os" subdir where necessary (or make the repo
paths more customisable).

The old default is

  $treeroot/$target/$basearch
  $treeroot/$target/$basearch/debug

with no "os" subdir. That matches Fedora (Updates, Test Updates, EPEL,
Extras). The "os" subdirs seems to be specific to the "releases" and
"development" trees, where the repodata path must be constructed
differently (e.g. $treeroot/$target/Everything/$basearch/os).
