Package: lintian Version: 2.5.50 Priority: wishlist X-Debugs-CC: reproducible-b...@lists.alioth.debian.org
There are packages which contain symlinks to places that exit only on the build machine. I am guessing that this will almost certainly be a bug. For example, sugar-memorize-activity's binary package contains a symlink (#860418) to the temporary directory in which the package was built, in /build. /build feels like it would always be wrong. I suspect /tmp, /home, /var/tmp, /dev/shm, and possibly other paths, would be wrong too. Please make Lintian check that absolute symlinks do not target any of these directories? Cheers.
