Hi lintian maintainers, I'm the maintainer of xfree86-driver-synaptics an xfree86 driver. Such a driver needs too be installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/ and lintian now complains. I think it's time for me to suply an override file, do you agree? The package is available at http://oioio.altervista.org/debian/ (without the override file). Following the full output: # lintian -iIv ~/devel/debian/xfree86-driver-synaptics/xfree86-driver-synaptics_0.13.2*changes N: Processing changes file xfree86-driver-synaptics_0.13.2-1_i386.changes ...
