lintian: symlinks from /usr/lib into /lib
Package: lintian
Version: 0.3.0
E: e2fslibsg-dev: symlink-should-be-absolute usr/lib/libe2p.so ../../lib/libe2p.so.2.3
N:
N: Symbolic links into /etc or /var should be absolute.
N:
N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 3.3.5 for details.
N:
Neither the policy nor the packaging manual do say anything about the
quite common case where a lib is in /lib/, and its dev link in
/usr/lib/.
On my installation, all such links are relative, so I suppose it's not
a mistake from me, and it is probably a lintian bug, or is there
really a reason of using absolute links there ?
