[Bug 803882] [NEW] dh_make tries to make driver symbolic links without absolute paths

[orbital fox]

Public bug reported:

Apparently cp -s needs absolute paths. Yet dh_make tries to use it
relative paths (called from Debian dpkg-buildpackage version
1.15.8.10ubuntu1). Quoting relevant log below:

# Copy only the driver source to the proper location
cp -s driver/*  debian/XXX-source/usr/src/modules/XXX
cp: `debian/XXX-source/usr/src/modules/s2226/XXX.ko': can make relative symbolic links only in current directory

** Affects: dh-make (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Description changed:

  Apparently cp -s needs absolute paths. Yet dh_make tries to use it
- relative paths. Quoting relevant log below:
