Hi Damien,

I think you may have typed the wrong bug number when closing my bug:

Even though my bug is also related to symlinks, it's entirely different than
the other two bugs you listed as closed, and is unrelated to ICC profiles.

It's also still present in the current version; even though the dependencies
have been tightened somewhat due to #640476, it's still entirely possible to
have version 6b23~pre9-2 of openjdk-6-jre-lib point to an incomplete
changelog.Debian.gz if openjdk-6-jre-headless is version 6b23~pre9-1. The new
dependencies stil allow this.

Either the dependency should require exactly the same package version or the
/usr/share/doc subdirectories should not be symlinked to each other. There are
probably other gotchas in relation to such a symlink, relating to copyright or
README/README.Debian files or similar, but since the real-world use case where
this bug was a problem and my RC severity justification were both about an
incomplete changelog, I'll restrict the scope of this bug number to that issue.

Thanks for your work,

- Jimmy Kaplowitz
