+B<dh_link> is a debhelper program that creates symlinks in package build
 directories.

+B<dh_link> accepts a list of pairs of source and destination files. The source
 files are the already existing files that will be symlinked from. The
 destination files are the symlinks that will be created. There B<must> be
 an equal number of source and destination files specified.
 
-The list can be specified in two ways. A file named debian/package.links
-can list pairs of files. If you use this file, you should put each pair
-of files on its own line, and separate the files within the pair with
-whitespace. Also, pairs of files can be specified as parameters - these
-pairs will only be created in the package build directory of the first
-package dh_link is told to act on. By default, this is the first binary
-package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags, it will be
-the first package specified by those flags.
-
 Be sure you B<do> specify the full filename to both the source and
 destination files (unlike you would do if you were using something like
 L<ln(1)>).

+B<dh_link> will generate symlinks that comply with Debian policy - absolute
 when policy says they should be absolute, and relative links with as short
 a path as possible. It will also create any subdirectories it needs to to put
 the symlinks in.
 
-dh_link also scans the package build tree for existing symlinks which do not
-conform to debian policy, and corrects them (v4 or later).
+Any pre-existing destination files will be replaced with symlinks.
