Bug Description
The upload queue rejects packages where debian/copyright is a symlink. In Debian, that works fine (lintian complains about it, but oh well), and syncs also work fine.
In APT, we had no debian/copyright for a long time, instead installing the toplevel COPYING file as copyright into the packages. I now made debian/copyright a symlink to that (it's reasonable information to maintain in the upstream part), and now stuff breaks, which is annoying.
