Generally there is no need to override info and pedantic level lintian
complaints because they are not shown by default.

It is only appropriate to override this if upstream refuses to sign
their tarballs. In that case you should include a comment with a link
to where they have stated that.

It is only appropriate to override this if upstream refuses to add an
upstream NEWS file or ChangeLog and doesn't have a VCS that could be
turned into a changelog. In that case you should include a comment
with a link to where they have refused to add those things.
