Bug#679390: debian-el: M-x debian-bug does not run bug script if it is a symlink

Package: debian-el
Version: 35.2
Severity: normal

M-x debian-bug does not run the package's bug script if it is a
symlink. So far I have tracked this down to debian-bug-find-bug-script
which returns nil in such cases:

(debian-bug-find-bug-script "xserver-xorg-video-nouveau") => nil

(debian-bug-find-bug-script "xserver-xorg-core") =>
"/usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg-core/script"

However, these packages actually use the same script:

,-
| $ file /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/script
| /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/script: symbolic link to `../xserver-xorg-core/script'
`-

I'm 99% sure this had worked in the past. Wonder what broke it. :-(
