# `debian-control-file-is-a-symlink`

The `debian/control` file is a symbolic link.

It is not recommended to use anything other than plain files for the required source files. Using links makes it harder to check and manipulate sources automatically.

If the file must be available under multiple names, please make `debian/control` the real file and let the other names point to it.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
