Hi Charles,

I found references to VendorCustomization and was reading about it,
but it wasn't clear to me how to write my profile file. After poking
around a little more I found there is actually an Ubuntu profile
configuration[1] in the system already. The only thing I needed was to
set "LINTIAN_PROFILE=ubuntu".

[1]/usr/share/lintian/profiles/ubuntu/main.profile

Thanks,
Carlos
