Bug#848825: lintian: Does not applies source-is-missing overrides unless path has wildcard

[Jérémy Lal <kapouer@melix.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.49
Severity: normal

This doesn't override anything:

source/lintian-overrides
source-is-missing deps/v8/benchmarks/regexp.js
source-is-missing doc/api_assets/sh_javascript.min.js
source-is-missing test/fixtures/throws_error5.js
source-is-missing test/fixtures/throws_error6.js

and it lists those overrides as unused.

This does work as intended:
source/lintian-overrides
source-is-missing deps/v8/benchmarks/regexp.js*
source-is-missing doc/api_assets/sh_javascript.min.js*
source-is-missing test/fixtures/throws_error5.js*
source-is-missing test/fixtures/throws_error6.js*

Cheers,

Jérémy.
