Bug#909319: Show unnecessary overrides
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.104
Severity: normal
Sometimes an override becomes unnecessary, either because the package
changed to not need it or lintian changed to become more discerning and
no longer flags the package. Either way, at that point the override
becomes unnecessary. Lintian should show the unnecessary override to
call attention to it, so that the maintainer can remove it.
