Ideally yes, but both paths are technically correct. I don't think Lintian should go so far as it will probably be hard (or impossible) to get right. > Also, why is it a symbolic link, please? In this case the package changed name, so both folders point to the same source for backwards-compatibility. When the Go compiler imports both paths it will find the same source code. > Should Lintian > merely verify that the path is present so we catch when there is a > link and not a folder?
