Package: unzip
Version: 6.0-28
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
the package unzip currently creates the following hardlinks:
/usr/bin/unzip
/usr/bin/zipinfo
Please choose one to be a symlink to the other instead. These are one of the
few hardlinks on my system and make backup software complain. Other software in
debian repositories also uses the symlink method when they want an executable
to be started with different names.
Thank you.

This is not a bug. This is a feature which has been supported by dpkg for ages.
These are one of the few hardlinks on my system and make backup software
complain.
Well, this is Unix after all, and Unix has hardlinks. If your backup software
complains,
use another backup software, or find the option to disable the complain.
Thanks.
