Lintian tag: symlink-contains-spurious-segments
Type: error
Description (from lintian-explain-tags)
The symbolic link target contains superfluous path segments like .. or ..
They are not needed and make the link longer than necessary, which goes
against Debian policy.
Such segments can also cause unexpected problems in the presence of
symlinked directories.
With Debhelper, running dh_link after creating the package structure will
fix this problem for you.
Please refer to Symbolic links (Section 10.5) in the Debian Policy Manual
for details.
