Bug#301286: false handling of symlinks



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.8
Severity: important
Hi,
I have a problem with the handling of symlinks. I have to
symlinks which points to a manpage so the user is able to
call the same manpage with different names.

lintian complains about the names of the symlinks because
they don't end with .gz.
I tried to rename them to .gz but then I get this:
E: mutt-ng: manpage-not-compressed-with-gzip usr/share/man/man1/muttngbug.1.gz
E: mutt-ng: empty-manual-page usr/share/man/man1/muttngbug.1.gz
It seems to be a bug.
Sorry, I don't have the time to look at the lintian source.
Regards Nico
