Tag: usr-share-doc-symlink-to-foreign-package Severity: error Check: debian/copyright Explanation: If the package installs a symbolic link /usr/share/doc/*pkg1* -> *pkg2*, then *pkg1* and *pkg2* must both come from the same source package. . The best solution is probably to stop symlinking the /usr/share/doc directory for this package and instead include a real /usr/share/doc/*pkg1* directory within *pkg1* with the appropriate contents (such as the copyright and changelog.Debian.gz files).
