Bug#776535: lintian: false positive for package-contains-broken-symlink
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.30+deb8u3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I got this warning from lintian:
X: roundcube-core: package-contains-broken-symlink usr/share/roundcube/program/js/tiny_mce ../../../tinymce/www
roundcube-core Depends: on tinymce, tinymce creates files under
/usr/share/tinymce/www and so after installation the symlink is
valid. I gather from the lintian's explanation it does check
direct dependencies, and if true the error message is a bug.
