Dear Maintainer,

Many /usr/share/vgabios/vgabios.*.bin symlinks are broken because their
link target paths are calculated relative to the source package
directory during build, instead of the symlink's parent directory.

  $ adequate vgabios
  vgabios: broken-symlink /usr/share/vgabios/vgabios.banshee.bin -> debian/vgabios/usr/share/vgabios/vgabios-banshee.bin
  vgabios: broken-symlink /usr/share/vgabios/vgabios.banshee.debug.bin -> debian/vgabios/usr/share/vgabios/vgabios-banshee-debug.bin
  vgabios: broken-symlink /usr/share/vgabios/vgabios.cirrus.bin -> debian/vgabios/usr/share/vgabios/vgabios-cirrus.bin
  vgabios: broken-symlink /usr/share/vgabios/vgabios.cirrus.debug.bin -> debian/vgabios/usr/share/vgabios/vgabios-cirrus-debug.bin
  vgabios: broken-symlink /usr/share/vgabios/vgabios.debug.bin -> debian/vgabios/usr/share/vgabios/vgabios-debug.bin
  vgabios: broken-symlink /usr/share/vgabios/vgabios.qxl.bin -> debian/vgabios/usr/share/vgabios/vgabios-qxl.bin
  vgabios: broken-symlink /usr/share/vgabios/vgabios.qxl.debug.bin -> debian/vgabios/usr/share/vgabios/vgabios-qxl-debug.bin
  vgabios: broken-symlink /usr/share/vgabios/vgabios.stdvga.debug.bin -> vgabios.debug.bin
  vgabios: broken-symlink /usr/share/vgabios/vgabios.vmware.bin -> debian/vgabios/usr/share/vgabios/vgabios-vmware.bin
  vgabios: broken-symlink /usr/share/vgabios/vgabios.vmware.debug.bin -> debian/vgabios/usr/share/vgabios/vgabios-vmware-debug.bin

From debian/rules:

  bash -c 'set -e; \
   for file in debian/vgabios/usr/share/vgabios/*.bin; do \
     [ -e "$${file//-/.}" ] || [ -L "$${file//-/.}" ] || ln -s "$${file}" "$${file//-/.}"; \
   done'

The first argument to "ln -s" should be the basename instead,
probably "$${file##*/}" is enough.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
vgabios, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.
