While breaking old links if you're not renaming them manually (which is no
big deal really), the best way to solve the OP's challenge is rewriting the
plugin into a multigraph plugin (compatible with Munin from 1.4 and above).

That way the symlinks will only point to the instance (i.e. varnish_ ->
varnish_project1, varnish_ -> project2 etc), and all aspects will be
managed internally in the plugin.
