lintian in the archive needs to restore support for the old override
format, or ftpmaster needs to be updated to the new lintian.

Normal source-only uploads do not trigger the issue usually, but
there surely have been people adopting their overrides to the new
format who now get stuck (like me) at binary-NEW with a reject when
having to do a binary upload.

For an orderly transition, lintian needs to regain support for
the old override format as otherwise uploads to old series don't
work.

I asked on #debian-ftp about the current lintian version on ftp-master and was
told that the version is "Lintian v2.116.3+deb12u1".

The "pointed hints" as per #1007002 were introduced on or before lintian 2.114.0
this is inline with what is present in `git log` -- these date all the way back to
Nov 2021.

The last "pointed hint" change (with the commit message saying so) so got uploaded
in 2.115.0 version, so I think this should no longer be a problem here.

If it is, just in case, please ask ftp-master to update lintian version.
I am closing this bug for now.

Thanks!
