A debdiff should most certainly not be trying to patch a symlink. I'd recommend trying it with `patch -p1 < {debdiff}` and build the source package to see if it works. If it complains about changes to the source that aren't reflected, then yes, there's a problem with the debdiff, but that's usually overcome by extracting the source.
