First, you're installing an override for the *binary* package xtermset to suppress configure-generated-file-in-source. But that's a source package tag that doesn't trigger for the binary package. Hence the I: tag about an unused override. Second, you're trying to suppress a warning in the source package rather than the binary package, which means that you need a source override. A source override must have the file name debian/source.lintian-overrides.
