lintian's warning



Hello.

I'm packaging makeself[1] for Debian (#200151).
I've got the followoing errors/warnings:

(fenio@domek)~/nowy$lintian makeself_2.1.2-1_i386.changes
E: makeself: binary-without-manpage makeself
W: makeself: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/lib/makeself/makeself-header
(fenio@domek)~/nowy$

The first one isn't a problem for me (I'll write this manpage).
But what about second one? Makeself comes with some additional script
which doesn't comply to Debian's policy.

It starts with:
cat << EOF  > "$archname"
#!/bin/sh
# This script was generated using Makeself $MS_VERSION

What should I do with that?
Is it a suitable situation to use lintian's override feature?

I'll be thankful for any comments and suggestions also about this what
I've done[2] already.

regards
fEnIo
