dh_link



The upstream source has a ChangeLog, I need to rename this to changelog.gz. By
default using debhelper I get a ChangeLog.gz in the usr/doc/<name>/ directory
and I try to use dh_link:

#link file
usr/doc/xzx/ChangeLog.gz usr/doc/xzx/changelog.gz
usr/bin/xzx usr/X11R6/bin/xzx

The binary (xzx) link works fine (except the permissions lrwxrwxrwx) but the
changelog one gives a lintian error saying that the changelog isn't
compressed properly, should use gzip -9 ... and I can't read from the
changelog.gz file either.

How should I fix this?
