Based on the Kshell man page (
man/man1/ksh.html man page -- look for the heading "In-line Editing Options") I don't believe variable name expansion is supported. From the doc, only filename and command expansion is implemented.
I could be wrong, but that is how I read it.

DH_LINK(1) Debhelper DH_LINK(1)
NAME
dh_link - create symlinks in package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_link [debhelperoptions] [-A] [-Xitem] [sourcedestination...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_link is a debhelper program that creates symlinks in package build directories.
dh_link accepts a list of pairs of source and destination files. The source files are the already existing files that will be symlinked
from (called target by ln(1)). The destination files are the symlinks that will be created (called link name by ln(1)). There must be an
equal number of source and destination files specified.
Be sure you do specify the absolute path to both the source and destination files (unlike you would do if you were using something like
ln(1)). Please note that the leading slash is optional.
dh_link will generate symlinks that comply with Debian policy - absolute when policy says they should be absolute, and relative links with
as short a path as possible. It will also create any subdirectories it needs to put the symlinks in.
Any pre-existing destination files will be replaced with symlinks.
dh_link also scans the package build tree for existing symlinks which do not conform to Debian policy, and corrects them (v4 or later).
FILES
debian/package.links
Lists pairs of source and destination files to be symlinked. Each pair should be put on its own line, with the source and destination
separated by whitespace.
In each pair the source file (called target by ln(1)) comes first and is followed by the destination file (called link name by ln(1)).
Thus the pairs of source and destination files in each line are give in the same order as they would be given to ln(1).
In contrast to ln(1), source and destination paths must be absolute (the leading slash is optional).
OPTIONS
-A, --all
Create any links specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on, not just the first.
-Xitem, --exclude=item
Exclude symlinks that contain item anywhere in their filename from being corrected to comply with Debian policy.
source destination ...
Create a file named destination as a link to a file named source. Do this in the package build directory of the first package acted on.
(Or in all packages if -A is specified.)
EXAMPLES
dh_link usr/share/man/man1/foo.1 usr/share/man/man1/bar.1
Make bar.1 be a symlink to foo.1
dh_link var/lib/foo usr/lib/foo
usr/share/man/man1/foo.1 usr/share/man/man1/bar.1
Make /usr/lib/foo/ be a link to /var/lib/foo/, and bar.1 be a symlink to the foo.1
var/lib/foo usr/lib/foo
usr/share/man/man1/foo.1 usr/share/man/man1/bar.1
Same as above but as content for a debian/package.links file.
