pointing to parent path /usr/share/javascript/handlebars/handlebars.js
of
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/ruby-handlebars-assets/usr/share/rubygems-integration/all/gems/handlebars_assets-0.23.8
is not allowed
How do we handle this issue? Should we copy instead? If that is the
solution, we will have to rebuild ruby package whenever the js package
changes. Can we modify rubygems to allow this link?
