Bug#504302: lintian: Rename --show-overrides to a --display-* option



Package: lintian
Version: 2.0.0
Severity: wishlist


For canonical option names like these:

       --display-info
       --display-experimental
       ...

it would be expected to find similarly named:

       --display-overrides
