Package: lintian Version: 2.2.13 Ubuntu allows symlinked changelog files. So please do not report debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink if the package is an Ubuntu package.
I tried to write a patch for it, but Perl does not like me (or the other way round). The check rule should look like if (-l 'changelog' && !($version =~ /$UBUNTU_REGEX/ or $distribution =~ /$UBUNTU_REGEX/)) { tag "debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink", ""; return 0; } but I don't know how to determine $distribution. Cheers, Benjamin
