Bug#501722: lintian: unused-override is emitted when an override exists for a check which is not -C <check>



Package: lintian
Version: 2.0.0
Severity: minor

Example:

$ lintian --show-overrides -I 
xserver-xorg-video-openchrome_0.2.902+svn579-2_i386.deb | cut '-d ' -f-3
O: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink
O: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink
O: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: no-symbols-control-file
O: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: no-symbols-control-file
O: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames

$ lintian --show-overrides -C scripts -I 
xserver-xorg-video-openchrome_0.2.902+svn579-2_i386.deb | cut '-d ' -f-3
I: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: unused-override
I: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: unused-override
I: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: unused-override
I: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: unused-override
I: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome: unused-override

Lintian should either not emit unused-override at all (only in that case, of 
course) or should only do it for tags that belong to the same check.

PS. -T is not affected.
