Recent versions of lintian do not report unused-override any longer,Do you have a concrete example when it doesn't work?No package in the archive (except perhaps fglrx-driver in non-free, there may be an unused spelling correction of thE or something alike), but I just submitted a patch for openmprtl (#775257) for switching to a proper soname, so the related overrides should go away. In the patch the libiomp5.lintian-overrides gets deleted, but lintian didn't report anything unused before I did this.
Thanks, I've reproduced the bug. Apparently this only happens when you process multiple binary packages at once:
$ lintian libiomp5_0.20150401-2_i386.deb libiomp-dev_0.20150401-2_i386.deb | grep -wc unused 0 $ lintian libiomp5_0.20150401-2_i386.deb | grep -w unused I: libiomp5: unused-override ldconfig-symlink-missing-for-shlib usr/lib/libiomp5.so usr/lib/libiomp5.so.5 libiomp5.so I: libiomp5: unused-override postinst-must-call-ldconfig usr/lib/libiomp5.so.5 I: libiomp5: unused-override shlib-without-versioned-soname usr/lib/libiomp5.so.5 libiomp5.so -- Jakub Wilk
