Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.28
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
it'd be nice if I could suppress specific tags globally in my
~/.lintianrc by being able to use e.g. suppress-tags or dont-check-part
in there.
I've got two use cases for suppressing tags globally because I run into
them regularily;
* Known issues in lintian, e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/732246 with
rc-version-greater-than-expected-version. I don't want to use
overrides here because I'd get an unused-override warning as soon as
#732246 is fixed.
* Disagreeing with the reasoning (e.g. debian-news-entry-uses-asterisk)
and hence ignoring the tag anyways. There's a subtle difference
between this and adding an override. An override usually means that
it's a false positive -- which is not the case here.

(not just .Rdata) files in r-data-without-readme-source.
