Bug#699628: lintian: false-positive malformed-override (ambigious parsing)

[Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.11
Severity: normal

The override "package-relation-with-self replaces: apache2-suexec" can
be read as:

   "<pkg> <type>: tag"

 or as

   "<tag> <extra with a colon>"

Lintian currently opts for the former, but it is unfortunately wrong.

Previously this problem was worked around by requring <pkg> <type> to
match the actual package name and package type.  I changed that in
2.5.11 to help people who got confused when they misplaced the
override for a tag in the wrong package.
