IIRC lintian maintainers normally say to not use an override and just ignore it until the bug is fixed. But if that's going to cause our package to be REJECTed, I guess that's not an option..so should we just override it? also, it would be nice to have a way to run lintian so that it will only list problems that will cause a REJECT, and have it exit with non-zero if any of those are not overriden (or are overriden but not allowed to be overriden). -- _________________________ Ryan Niebur ryanryan52@gmail.com
