Ok ... thx for your answers to this!
Beside building and testing my packages in a proper way (pbuilder and clean
installations in vmware - because of my packgage beeing a graphical one, I
decided to use a graphical system for testing, not chroot) I just mis-used
lintian ;(
So my question came up cause of this unproper usage, was my fault and is
therfore answered.
