html documentation - symbolic links



It seems the debuild chain converts symbolic (documentation) links to
file copies. Should this be so? My reading of policy says it is up to
the maintainer. If this is good practice (as I (naively?) assume) how do
I get around this?

In my case:
the package has:
 /usr/share/doc/fastdep/html/fastdep.htm

and in my debian/rules I have:
 ln -s fastdep.html doc/index.html

This seems to get converted to a file copy, when it moves into
debian/{package}/usr/share/doc/{package}/html/...
