absolute-symlink-in-top-level-folder
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.
