[Pkg-dns-devel] Bug#879542: Bug#879542: bind9: contains hard link to /.gz

[Ondřej Surý]

Hi Brian,

this has been a bug in debhelper fixed in 10.10.2 upload:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/880858

I'll fix some more bugs in the package tomorrow and get the bind9
rebuilt with the new debhelper.

Thanks for the report,
Ondrej
