Hi all,

wouldn't a package that contains README.source as a symbolic link need
to build-depend on the package that provides the target file? In that
case, med-config is mabye not the best choice. How about a `med-policy'
package that would contain the README.source and our group policy?

In the end, what we need is some kind of "Build-Recommends"
relationship ;)

Have a nice day,
