I was under the impression, based on an email on another list (http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2003/debian-qa-200303/msg1.html) which was suggested, This is a lintian false positive, and probably one that can't be worked around in lintian that this would not be possible in lintian. I have CC'd the lintian-maintainer to see if it is possible.

Did you discuss the issue first with the lintian maintainer and the bf team ? I have included the debian-boot list on this email as well to see if we can get resolution on if the *-bf packages are completely obsolete or not. Thanks!
