+Tag: debian-rules-is-symlink
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/rules
+Explanation: The file <code>debian/rules</code> is a symlink instead of a regular
+ file. This is unnecessary and makes package checking and manipulation
+ more difficult. If the rules file should be available in the source
+ package under multiple names, make <code>debian/rules</code> the real
+ file and the other names symlinks to it.
+ .
+ This problem may have prevented Lintian from performing other checks,
+ leading to undetected changelog errors.
