Lintian tag: absolute-symlink-in-top-level-folder

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

Symbolic links to files in the same top-level directory should be
relative.

As an example, a link in /usr to another file in /usr should be relative,
while a link in /usr to a file in /etc should be absolute.

With Debhelper, running dh_link after creating the package structure will
fix the issue for you.

Please refer to Symbolic links (Section 10.5) in the Debian Policy Manual
for details.
