Heinrich, deb packages ship symlinks all the time, e.g. ❯ dpkg-deb --contents libssl-dev_3.4.1-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb | grep -- '->' lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2025-02-12 10:21 ./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so -> libcrypto.so.3 lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2025-02-12 10:21 ./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so -> libssl.so.3 lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2025-02-12 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/libssl-dev/changelog.Debian.gz -> ../libssl3t64/changelog.Debian.gz lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2025-02-12 10:21 ./usr/share/doc/libssl-dev/copyright -> ../libssl3t64/copyright
debian/foo.links just leverages dh_link to create those links.
