I agree. Although I think that it would be better if there could be a
single line indicating overrides on everything that got scanned by
lintian.
Currently on dpkg I have 4 N: lines: one per deb + one for the .dsc. That
clutters the output a bit too much to my taste. And ideally it should be at
the end of the output (or at the beginning) but not spread in the output.
