Package: debhelper
Version: 4.9.3
Severity: wishlist

Currently dh_* family copies symlinks as symlinks which I think most of the
time will result in broken links. I am not absolutely sure that changing
current behavior to follow symlinks by default is a good idea. Having an
option to select this would sure be nice. At the moment I have to resort
to using cp -L.
