Package: symlinks Version: 1.4-4 Severity: minor Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Summary: Trim trailing space. Remove superfluous paragraph macros (.PP). Use the correct font macro for one argument (one font, not two). Use '\-' to indicate an option, not '-'. Split long lines into shorter.

This permits links to maintain their validity regardless of the mount point used for the filesystem -- a desirable setup in most cases. This option also causes any .B messy links to be cleaned up, and, if -.B -s +.B \-s was also specified, then .B lengthy links are also shortened.
