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.
