This is not dh_link issue. We don't use libc6-dev.link for
/usr/lib/libm.so because "../../libm.so" is generated during glibc
build, and we put them to /usr/lib directly.
So I think this bug is no relation to debhelper handling. I would
like to put the script which I proposed and that changes ../../lib ->
/lib. OK?
In addition, I think it's good idea to put general program which
resolves from relative path to absolute path like "BSD readlink -f".
Unfortunatelly GNU readlink -f returns ENOENT if the real path is not
existed, and "realpath -s" returns the same path.
