There are also benefits from using an override:
- It shows that the message has been received by the maintainer, not just
skipped, missed or ignored.
- It gives an opportunity to write down why he decided to not take further
action.
Overrides are a central place in which Lintian maintainers and other developers
doing distribution-wide developments and quality controls can try to unerstand
why a tag tends to be ignored by a large number of package maintainers.
For example, I am very tempted to start to override hyphen-used-as-minus-sign
tags with a justification such as “Never going to work; will not spend my time
on this; others may do as they wish”.
Have a nice day,
