Lintian tag: package-contains-hardlink

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The package contains a hardlink in /etc or across different directories.
This might not work at all if directories are on different filesystems
(which can happen anytime as the system administrator sees fit), certain
filesystems such as AFS don't even support cross-directory hardlinks at
all.

For configuration files, certain editors might break hardlinks, and so
does dpkg in certain cases.

A better solution might be using symlinks here.

Please refer to Behavior (Section 10.7.3) in the Debian Policy Manual for
details.
