Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***

    * What led up to the situation?

    Using equivs to build a package that contains multiple 'Links:'
    values that reference the same target filename with different paths

    * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
      ineffective)?

    Example:

      Links: /var/lib/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
       ../sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail

    * What was the outcome of this action?

    equivs-build fails with 'File exists' error

    * What outcome did you expect instead?

    equivs-build should include all requested links
