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/...
