Control: tags 771413 + patch
Dear maintainer,
I believe the reason for the broken symlinks is that they violated the Debian
policy on symbolic links,
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.5
and were therefore omitted by the packaging programs. They violated the policy
because the missing links were relative links from one top-level directory into
another, but they should have been absolute.
The attached patch fixes the bug. It uses dh_link to create the problematic
links and not ln.
Cheers,
Tilman
