I understand. Still, for CPAN and pypi packages there *is* nothing you
can do about it, so I think overriding the correct lintian is the right
thing to do.
And better yet, if some automatism would detect cpan/pypi and spare
you that overriding too.
Sounds like something for the screen masking functionality.
We already have for example:
N: masked by screen python/egg/metadata
M: python3-rasterio: package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc
[usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/rasterio-1.5.0.dist-info/top_level.txt]
We could add something like:
N: masked by screen perl/cpan/watch
M: libgeo-gpx-perl source: debian-watch-does-not-check-openpgp-signature
[debian/watch]
Kind Regards,
Bas
