Bug#817068: Wildcard in overrides no longer appears to work mid-string



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.42

Trying to overrides some source-is-missing false-positives in package
rkward, I note that wildcard matching no longer appears to work at
start or mid of string. I'm trying to override source is missing for

  E: rkward source: source-is-missing rkward/plugins/plots/box_plot.js
  line length is 257 characters (>256)
  E: rkward source: source-is-missing
  rkward/plugins/analysis/power/Poweranalysis.js line length is 538
  characters (>512)

(Note: The heuristics underlying source-is-missing have seen a number
of changes, apparently. Other versions have been flagging more .js
files in rkward).

I would expect the following three override variants to all do the
trick, but only variant 3 overrides, successfully:

1)
rkward source: source-is-missing *.js
2)
rkward source: source-is-missing rkward/plugins/*.js
3)
rkward source: source-is-missing rkward/plugins/*

Variant 2 used to work with some earlier version of lintian, current
around December 2015. I never used Variant 1 except for testing.

Regards
Thomas
