I am not opposed to the idea (or to making overrides easier to use in
other ways) but isn't the array as susceptible to new upstream
versions as four separate lines?

BTW, Lintian's test suite has an automatic hint adjuster. (No editor
required.) Would that be helpful to the public for use on their
overrides?

Kind regards
