I'm guessing this suggestion is in order to avoid having too many
symlinks. It seems to me this may not be needed if we keep the
existing logic for finding *.packages and *.repos files. Consider the
following automation dir content:

check_patch.sh
check_patch.packages
check_patch.sh.fc24 -> check_patch.sh
check_patch.sh.fc25 -> check_patch.sh

So same checks running on el7, fc25, fc25, with the same packages and
with no much duplication and not too many symlinks. Am I missing
something?
