There is '--distupgrade-to-testdebs-from /path/to/Packages-and-.debs'
I see you applied the fix I suggested ;-) Sorry, didn't find time yet to
look at this and try something.
dpkg stating that both relative and absolute values work as $old_target
is correct in most cases. Simplified, the check is
if [ $(readlink $pathname) = $old_target ] || [ $(readlink -f $pathname)
= $old_target ]; then ... fi
which did not work in your case because readlink returned the absolute
path in both cases, but $old_target was relative and thus never matched.
(But I vaguely remember a case where the relative link gave better
results as well, so absolute is not the perfect solution.)
