[DRE-maint] Bug#751793: “jekyll build” generates site with broken js/modernizr.min.js symlink

[Michael Stapelberg]

Package: jekyll
Version: 1.5.1+dfsg1-2
Severity: normal

midna ~/i3.github.io $ jekyll new .
New jekyll site installed in /home/michael/i3.github.io.
midna ~/i3.github.io $ jekyll build
Configuration file: /home/michael/i3.github.io/_config.yml
            Source: /home/michael/i3.github.io
       Destination: /home/michael/i3.github.io/_site
      Generating... error: No such file or directory - /home/michael/i3.github.io/js/modernizr.min.js. Use --trace to view backtrace
midna ~/i3.github.io $ ls -hl js/modernizr.min.js
lrwxrwxrwx 1 michael staff 58 2014-06-16 18:58 js/modernizr.min.js -> ../../../../../share/javascript/modernizr/modernizr.min.js

I suspect this is because js/modernizr.min.js is copied from
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/site_template/js/modernizr.min.js which is a
symlink.

I think it’d be better to _not_ make this a symlink at all, at least not
at copy time, so that the file that is used is checked into git. I
suspect maintaining a site that is hosted on github.io will not work
otherwise.
