The following information could be helpful to you: I initially thought
that Bug#964234 ("dpkg-source: Considers missing symlink targets
directory traversals") was the same, but I am no longer sure. More
significantly, our test suite no longer reproduces the other bug.
The three tests mentioned earlier all create links with missing
symlink targets in source packages, but do not FTBFS (or perhaps
succeed now for unrelated reasons).
ln -s nonexistent "$DIR/debian/tests/broken"
I attached one of the packages for you.

As for Holger's package, Lintian also flags that condition. Source
packages can be unpacked anywhere. We likewise consider absolute
symlink targets unacceptable there.
W: munin source: absolute-symbolic-link-target-in-source
debian/munin.service -> /dev/null
Hope this helps!
Kind regards
