Package: debhelper
Version: 5.0.37.3
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

The dh_link(1) manpage says:

  dh_link also scans the package build tree for existing symlinks which
  do not conform to debian policy, and corrects them (v4 only).

however my brief testing indicates that this is also the case in v5, so
I propose the wording be changed to "v4 and later".
