Package: lintian
Version: 2.100.0
Severity: normal

For exim4 lintian now warns:
W: exim4-daemon-heavy: debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink changelog.gz
N:
W: debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink
N:
N:   The Debian changelog file is a symlink to a file in a different
N:   directory or not found in this package.
[...]

However the Debian changelog file is not a symlink, only the upstream
one.
