Lintian 2.5.12 has a tag for this now, source-contains-unsafe-symlink,
The tag is not emitted for lintian4python... Should it be?
As for banning all such symlinks, I'm not sure it's a good idea. I happen to maintain a package which contains one (lintian4python), and I think it's a valid use-case. Feel free to convince me otherwise, though. :)I believe this was taken care of with Lintian/2.5.12 supporting --include-dir in lintian4python 0.17.2.
s/was/could have been/, because I totally forgot to remove the symlinks from source. Will be fixed in 0.18, though. Thanks for reminding me about this. :)
