Actually, there is a8eb908b2933ccf96be7a5ce90de181bf4b24f4d[1], which
could be the issue. If so, that false-positive is fixed in 2.5.11
(which is on lintian.d.o).
I believe it is a regression caused by a change in collection/scripts
sometime after 2.4.3 (coll/scripts in 2.4.3 appears to collect data from
hardlinks, it doesn't in 2.5.10/2.5.11).
