# `changelog-is-symlink`

The file `debian/changelog` is a symlink instead of a regular file. This is unnecessary and makes package checking and manipulation more difficult. If the changelog should be available in the source package under multiple names, make `debian/changelog` the real file and the other names symlinks to it.

This problem may have prevented Lintian from performing other checks, leading to undetected changelog errors.

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