Bug#978534: lintian: do not emit source-is-missing for symbolic links



Package: lintian
Version: 2.104.0

One of the packages I maintain, restfuldb, carries around a broken
symlink named 'jquery-3.3.1.min.js', which causes lintian to emit
source-is-missing tag, which is false-positive. I suggest either
ignoring symlinks altogether, or checking if they at least point to
anything before emitting warnings based on filenames.
