Lintian breaks existing lintian-overrides due to added []
Hi,
I realised that lintian (at least) starting with version 2.115.1 (may be
earlier) wraps file names into [] which breaks existing
lintian-overrides. Random example:
https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/biomaj3-user/-/blob/master/debian/lintian-overrides
now becomes invalid by lintian claiming
W: python3-biomaj3-user: mismatched-override script-with-language-extension usr/bin/biomaj-users.py [usr/share/lintian/overrides/python3-biomaj3-user:2]
W: python3-biomaj3-user: script-with-language-extension [usr/bin/biomaj-users.py]
I consider these [] not helpful since it breaks lots of
lintian-overrides with no visible advantage. Could this change in
lintian please be reverted?
Thanks a lot for maintaining lintian in any case
Andreas.
