debian/rules contains:
override_dh_installman:
dh_installman -a -p emboss
for i in $(RENAMED) ; \
do dh_link usr/share/man/man1/$$i.1e.gz
usr/share/man/man1/em_$$i.1e.gz ; \
done
dh_link will install the symlink into the first package in debhelper's
list of packages. When doing an arch:amd64 upload this is "emboss", but
when doing an arch:all upload (which happens when you do a source
uploaded) this is "emboss-data". Thus you get two symlinks which
conflict with each other.
You should be able to reproduce this by doing two separate builds:
One with dpkg-buildpackage -B
One with dpkg-buildpackage -A
And comparing the generated debs.
The simple solution is to use "dh_link -pemboss" to force the symlinks
to be installed into that package.
