Hi Dmitry,

The override_dh_link target you added for gnuhealth [0] results in
those [low importance] Lintian warnings.
Although the code specifies the full path
(/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3), somehow the links end up being
relative (../../../../common-licenses/GPL-3). This works fine when the
package is installed, but in the temporary build package those
relative symlinks point to a non-existing file.

I don't want to spend too much time on this, but do you have any idea
how to solve the Lintian warning, i.e. really create full symlinks
instead of relative?
