There is already an utility called realpath in Debian that does what you  
want given -s as an argument. There's also a realpath(3) wrapper in  
FreeBSD, but it does not accept -s. It's effectively a synonym with GNU  
coreutil's readlink -f.
I think coreutils should include Debian's realpath or a compatible  
replacement. Should we approach FreeBSD wrt to -s?
