Are you using debhelper?
I have also a package with symlinks and do dh_link before dh_compress in
binary-arch target:
...
dh_installman
dh_installchangelogs ChangeLog
dh_link usr/share/man/de/man1/mpgtx.1 usr/share/man/de/man1/mpgsplit.1 \
usr/share/man/de/man1/mpgtx.1 usr/share/man/de/man1/mpgcat.1 \
usr/share/man/de/man1/mpgtx.1 usr/share/man/de/man1/mpgjoin.1 \
usr/share/man/de/man1/mpgtx.1 usr/share/man/de/man1/mpginfo.1 \
usr/share/man/de/man1/mpgtx.1 usr/share/man/de/man1/mpgdemux.1
dh_strip
dh_compress
...
Lintian likes it. ;-)
Kindly regards,
Erik
