Package: debhelper Version: 9.20140228 Severity: wishlist Hello,
Playing with a package, I lost quite some time because a file was overriden by a broken symlink. It would be nice if dh_link could fail if a file is already managed by dh_install. For example: $ touch target --- foo.install --- target /usr/share/ --- foo.links --- usr/share/orig /usr/share/target In this case, I believe dh_link should fail with an error because the file is already managed by dh_install.
