The fix you are looking for is: ,--- debhelper (9.20141221) unstable; urgency=medium [ Niels Thykier ] * dh_installdeb: Raise required dpkg version for dir_to_symlink to 1.17.13 (see #769843, msg #10). Thanks to Guillem Jover. … [ Axel Beckert ] * dh_installdeb: Raise required dpkg version for symlink_to_dir to 1.17.14. It is needed in case of relative symlinks.
