This is expected. The path in the build tree is relative in a way that when a package is built and installed, it becomes working. The symlink is generated relative per Policy 10.5. And I think that even if dh_sphinxdoc generated it as absolute, dh_link would later change it to relative. If you are trying to rely on something that is in the build directory, you have to turn relative symlinks into absolute ones on your own. Or just don't call dh_sphinxdoc, then you will get normal files. -- Dmitry Shachnev
