I need to have my script know what directory it's in, even if it's run from a symlink located elsewhere.

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. The destination files are the symlinks that will be created. There must be an equal number of source and destination files specified.
Be sure you do specify the full filename to both the source and destination files (unlike you would do if you were using something like
ln(1)).
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 to put the symlinks in.
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.
OPTIONS
-A, --all
Create any links specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on, not just the first.
-Xitem, --exclude=item
Do not correct 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
