That first error appears to be legitimate. You probably need to make
sure that dh_link is being called in the rules script and that you are
using a new enough version of debhelper. If I remember correctly that
support was added sometime after the 4.0 release. The last time I ran
lintian on my packages it didn't show anything about the symlink's being
wrong.
dh_link manpage
"dh_link also scans the package build tree for existing symlinks which
do not conform to debian policy, and corrects them (v4 only)."
