+Tag: absolute-symbolic-link-target-in-source
+Severity: warning
+Check: files/symbolic-links
+Explanation: This symlink in a patched source tree points to an absolute target. It
+ happens sometimes when people point toward /dev/null, but that can and should
+ be done in the installation package instead. It is no problem there. The
+ source package is considered unanchored and should not contain any absolute
+ file references.
+ .
+ Please remove the symbolic link from the source package or point it to a
+ location inside the patched source tree.
