In the context of the surrounding code in checks/files,
"$index_info->{type} == 'l'" should do the trick. (I note that most of
the other checks seem to do partial matching via regexes, but I think
that's a hangover from when it used to parse the index file directly;
Lintian::Collect::Binary::index() extracts a single character for
"type").
