Package: debhelper
Version: 4.9.3
Severity: wishlist
Currently dh_* family copies symlinks as symlinks which I think most of the
time will result in broken links. I am not absolutely sure that changing
current behavior to follow symlinks by default is a good idea. Having an
option to select this would sure be nice. At the moment I have to resort
to using cp -L.

I'm sure similar reasoning could be used to argue for adding nearly
every other switch from cp to debhelper. But debhelper is not intended to
cover every possible case and excuse you from writing any lines in
debian/rules that do not begin with dh_.
