Package: lintian
Version: 2.99.0
I’ve been recompiling musescore2_2.3.2+dfsg3-10.dsc (currently
in sid) on latest sid, to test it for Qt 5.14 compatibility and
latest lintian overrides (modulo #969398, still unfixed).
I’m getting this:

The overrides file contains just this:

musescore2 source: debian-watch-does-not-check-gpg-signature
# not usable / suitable / useful, unfortunately
musescore2 source: testsuite-autopkgtest-missing
# oh really?! what the ever…

Hi Thorsten,

Your sources do not trigger the tag because they do not declare a
Testsuite in d/control. The override detection works fine.
It's possible that the tag meaning changed when the tag was renamed
(and we possibly did not record the old name for that reason). Either
way, this is not a bug.
Please remove the override from your sources. Closing.
Kind regards
