Bug#457513: N: - lintian too noisy
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.41
Severity: normal
It seems that someone filed 452804 and it is now fixed. I really
disagree in that because I don't want to see output from lintian if
there is nothing interesting.
When I add a override, I do not want to be bugged with it.
This setting might be reasonable when there is just 1 binary package -
but most of my packages produces many binary packages, most got some
kind of lintian override, so now it is quite some information.
The very least thing to do is to add a --dont-show-useless-stuff switch
- but I would prefer that the N: stuff wasn't on by default.
