Nice feature request.  When writing cdd-dev I had the same policy as debhelper
in mind which does intentionally not provide dh_installlintianoverrides
(or something like that - I remember a bug about this, but I'm to tired now
to verify the bug number).  But I agree that we might perhaps add such a
feature to cdd-dev.  On the other hand we need a means to ensure that
the overrides will be put into the right meta package.  This will probably
not work with the corrent lintian.override in the debian-edu source.

I see three chances:

   1. Use always only _one_ override file for all metapackages and put it
      into CDD-tasks (because this is installed for all meta packages anyway),
      but the override is somehow missplaced here.
   2. Use separate override files and use a naming sheme like <task>.override.
   3. Grep the single lintian.override file for metapackage-names and put the
      relevant entry into the according meta package.

Which solution would you prefer?

Kind regards

          Andreas.
