W debian-rules-is-symlink

All reports of debian-rules-is-symlink for the archive. The extended description of this tag is:

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.

The package names link to the relevant maintainer page and the corresponding report for the source package. The links go to the full maintainer report page, which includes info and experimental tags and overridden tags, rather than the default page that shows only errors and warnings.
