Lintian tag: lengthy-symlink

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This link goes up, and then back down into the same subdirectory. Making
it shorter will improve its chances of finding the right file if the
user's system has lots of symlinked directories.

If you use 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.
