Lintian tag: debian-rules-is-symlink
Type: warning
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
The file debian/rules is a symlink instead of a regular file. This is
unnecessary and makes package checking and manipulation more difficult. If
the rules file should be available in the source package under multiple
names, make debian/rules the real file and the other names symlinks to it.
This problem may have prevented Lintian from performing other checks,
leading to undetected changelog errors.
