Subject: apt-get source should not create links
X-Reportbug-Version: 0.43

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.14
Severity: normal
When you have a local mirror and use "apt-get source" it will generate
links into the mirror. If you then try to build the sources,
dpkg-buildpackage will try to write a new diff.gz file, therby trying
to overwrite the one from the mirror.
When using ftp or http method with apt the files will be there instead
of links and everzthing works.
I suggest that apt-get source should allways copy the files to behave
consistent.
May the Source be with you.

Feature not a bug, dpkg-buildpackage does not write .diff.gz files in the
way APT invokes it.
Use -o Acquire::Source-Symlinks=false to disable it.
