Hm, I do periodically go through the lintian.d.o report and add new
interpreters, although I've been busy lately, and I think the ability to
catch typos is very useful.  Without that tag, there's no notice that
/usr/bin/pelr is a bug.

Last time I checked, a lot of the overrides were things that we could fix
easily, although I haven't looked recently.
