Please don't do this. It makes + package checking and manipulation unnecessarily difficult. Because it was + a symlink, the Debian changelog file was not checked for other + problems. (Symlinks to another file in /usr/share/doc/*pkg* or a + subdirectory thereof are fine and should not trigger this warning.) + . + To refer to the changelog, copyright, and other documentation files of + another package that this one depends on, please symlink the entire + /usr/share/doc/*pkg* directory rather than individual files. |
