It only does so if the basename of the to be created symlink differs from the basename of the orig tarball since it's only purpose is to feed the right name to pristine-tar. So if wonder if the symlink is really created by git-import-orig? Could you provide a testcase? Or do you really intend to feed foo-<version>.tar.gz to pristine tar instead of foo_<version>.orig.tar.gz?
