Package: lintian Version: 2.5.0~rc3 Severity: minor
The lintian manual appears to be off. Sectoin 2.4 on Overrides states: "If the override is for a source package, you have to place it at debian/source/lintian-overrides or debian/source.lintian-overrides (the former path is preferred)." Unfortunately the overrides are not used when the file is named 'debian/source.lintian-overrides' . It is recognized when it is named 'debian/lintian-overrides'. ~/check-dnssec_0.1$ mv debian/lintian-overrides debian/source.lintian-overrides ~/check-dnssec_0.1$ DH_VERBOSE=1 debuild -uc -us -rfakeroot | tail -n 3 Now running lintian...
