That way you never have to worry about copying it there every time. Has been working fine for us for the last 12 months, can any one see any problems with this?
It's not a general deployment strategy because it doesn't work under Windows or when the app and Web servers are different machines.
But when the app and Web servers are the same Unix machine, using a symbolic link seems fine to me as long as you don't break the link by relocating or renaming the app.
