Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.15.8.4 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if the debian.tar.gz tarball of a 3.0 (quilt) source package could contain symlinks setup in the uptsream files.
A useful case would be for example to provide a non-versioned name when a supplementary tarball embeds a version number in its component name so that the packaging rules do not need to be updated every time that the additional tarball is updated. Example with openoffice.org: ooo-build -> ooo-build-3-2-1-4 Currently it fails with "unrepresentable changes".
