Oh, I see. dh_linktree should take an argument saying what dependency
strictness should be used, or maybe there should be a general dh
option for substvar names.
However, in the absence of that, you could do this:
mv debian/substvars debian/substvars.save
dh_linktree ....
cat debian/substvars.save >debian/substvars.new
sed -p 's/^misc:/linktree:/' debian/substvars >>debian/substvars.new
mv debian/substvars.new debian/substvars
or something. Giving you ${linktree:Depends} to put in Recommends.
