Bug#436716: W: changelog-file-not-compressed changelog should not be displayed if changelog is a symlink
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.32ubuntu1
Severity: normal
Consider the package smake. [1] It has the warning
"W: changelog-file-not-compressed changelog". The changelog is a symlink
to an 'announcement file'.
I think the warning should be omitted if the file 'changelog' is
actually a symlink. Do you agree here?
