[Bug 2009894] Re: Broken symlink CHANGES.rst.gz

[Dmitry Shachnev]

I think it's a bug in Ubuntu's debhelper package.

I am not adding the symlink manually, instead I'm using
`dh_installchangelogs -k CHANGES.rst` command.

Ubuntu patches dh_installchangelogs to not install the upstream
changelog:

    - dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat level
      7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.

However it seems like Ubuntu's patch does not handle the -k option well:
it removes the symlink, but not its target.
