On Debian stable. this package actually triggers three Lintian bugs:
1. The tag testsuite-autopkgtest-missing was renamed to
missing-tests-control, the old name was not recorded properly. This is
remedied quite easily and will result in a 'renamed-tag' warning.
2. The override comes up as unused, but that does not seem to be true.
Your sources do not declare a d/tests/control.
3. At least on stable your override comment for cute-field, "what the
ever…", which contains the Unicode codepoint U+2026 (e2 80 a6)
HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS, triggers the following warning:

We are unsure about the last bug, especially because you did not
report it in unstable (and it would have been hard to miss). The Perl
folks are telling us it is probably a bug in Perl. The output layer
"encoding:uft-8" is active on the handle being printed to. We are at a
loss for now.
This bug is being cloned and retitled to deal with each of the
described conditions. Thanks for bringing them to our attention.

I disagree with that broad condemnation. As a community project that
touches the lives of many contributors, Lintian accepted bug fixes in
many wrong places. The ripples you see stem from a careful but
difficult reshuffling of decades of hard work into a modern code base.
Lintian is no longer multi-threaded, and when that is accounted for,
the software runs better and faster than ever. It will also be much
easier to maintain (and contribute to) going forward.
Kind regards
