This also seems to be an error in Debian, or at any rate is supposed to be:

Oh right. That Lintian tag is for binary packages, not source packages; debian/copyright symlinks in source packages seem to be permitted. I guess lp.archiveuploader.dscfile.findFile will need to get a bit smarter (but still making sure not to follow symlinks that point outside the source tree).
