I do (to libgd), but I had the same problem when I wasn't renaming the source package:
Current lintian override looks like this: $ cat debian/libgd3.lintian-overrides libgd3: embedded-library usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgd.so.3.0.0: libgd2 And previously when the source package was still libgd2, and binary package was libgd2-3, I had to have: $ cat debian/libgd2-3.lintian-overrides libgd2-3: embedded-library usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgd.so.3.0.0: libgd2 libgd2-3: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libgd3 Since it doesn't list the source package name but rather binary package name I have some doubts about checking the name of source package, but I am just lintian user.
