Hi all,
I'm packaging something with has an installable file called License.hi
which is not a license file, but gets caught by the extra-license-file
lintian warning.
I can add a pkgname.lintian-override file, but the path in the override
file has the package version number embedded in it.

Sorry, I think you misunderstood. Lintian complains about the file:

I see. In that case, you can generate the pkg.lintian-overrides file in
any of the CDBS extension rules before dh_lintian is called. dh_lintian
is called in binary-install/pkg. So just stick it into any rule before
that.
Thanks, I'll try that.
Cheers,
Erik

Yeah, that sounds like a good Lintian exception.
I see no good reason to make lintian aware of this particular

any file named license* if that file is a binary file.

We have a ton of exceptions already by file extension, so it's trivial
