Hello,
I am not sure whether this is a bug or what the expected dh_link
behaviour is, but here is the issue:
the nano package has recently moved its nano binary from /usr/bin to
/bin and added a compatiblity symlink /usr/bin/nano -> /bin/nano which
is handled by dh_link:
blackbird~/debian/other/nano-1.2.4$ head -1 debian/links
bin/nano usr/bin/nano
These days, Debian GNU/Hurd installation still have a
/usr -> . symlink, which results in a /bin/nano -> /bin/nano symlink and
thus a broken nano.
This is apparently because dh_link removes the link destination prior to
linking and calls ln -sf.
Maybe dh_link should check whether $src == $tmp/$dest and refuse to create
the symlink in this case, possibly spewing out a warning?
I am not sure who is at fault here, and whether this problem is general
enough to warrant fixing in dh_link, or whether this is a non-issue WRT
debhelper and the Hurd port has to cope. I wanted to have your feedback
first before I propose a hack-around for hurd-i386 to the nano
maintainers.
thanks,
Michael

I'm closing this bug report, as as near as I can tell my guess about it
is right, and it's not a bug debhelper can do anything about.
| Also, since debhelper does not look at the build system's filesystem
| (for good reasons), it won't see the /usr symlink on hurd at build time,
| and so it cannot even warn about this problem. This seems more like
| something dpkg should check for and yell about at install time.
