Package: lintian Version: 2.5.10 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, In my package I want to create a symlinks to manpages in a recommended package (the binaries use update-alternatives to provide the proper variant). I would nearly consider this recommended package a dependency but doing so would cause a circular dependency and anyway policy [7.2] says: Recommends: This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency. The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in *all but unusual installations*. [Emphasize by me.] So I believe that symlinks to recommended packages should be fine, and as such the package-contains-broken-symlink check should also consider recommended packages next to "depends" packages. Feel free to tell me I am wrong in this, but please provide arguments.
