Same with aptitude-robot:
W: aptitude-robot: debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink
usr/share/doc/aptitude-robot/changelog.gz
But:
→ debc | fgrep changelog
-rw-r--r-- root/root 5390 2021-09-19 15:17
./usr/share/doc/aptitude-robot/changelog.Debian.gz
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2021-09-19 15:17
./usr/share/doc/aptitude-robot/changelog.gz -> changelog.Debian.gz

Huh? This should be obvious from the binary package version number.

Ack, that should work as well. Although I still don't see how lintian
isn't able to determine from a binary package's version number if it's
a native or a normal package. (And aptitude-robot is a bit of both
respectively inbetween, hence that symlink.)
