Hmmm, seems I should have a look onto d-shlibs whether these could be
included. I did some team uploads with such overrides in the past.

Lintian is running on all files mentioned in the changes file - so this
is the simplest way to check everything.

I personally ignore this in all my library packages. Lintian provides
some link but you always need manual work for each new version and the
gain for such unfrequently used packages is very low. So I'd recommend
to ignore this.

Sounds like good progress. Just let us know about any problem.
Kind regards
