Bug#253884: lintian: override matching should be allowed partially too

[Jeroen van Wolffelaar <jeroen@wolffelaar.nl>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.0
Severity: wishlist

You should be able to also supply a partial error in an override file.
For extra flexibility, why not accept some kind of wildcards...
