# `absolute-symlink-in-top-level-folder`

Symbolic links to files in the same top-level directory should be relative.

As an example, a link in `/usr` to another file in `/usr` should be relative, while a link in `/usr` to a file in `/etc` should be absolute.

With Debhelper, running dh_link after creating the package structure will fix the issue for you.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `symlink-should-be-relative`
