Hi Thorsten,

> The description of pyicloud contains the name of a software called "Find 
> My iPhone".

I think this is a case for an override rather than a change in Lintian
as it will never be able to reliably know that this is a false positive
without aintaining a list of project names like "Find My iPhone."

What do you think?
