Are you sure thats what you want to do? Of course lintian is trying
to avoid you making a mistake (one which, in this case, I think would
likely cause segfaults).
If overriding lintian is really correct in this situation, then you
should also try to determine why lintian is giving you a warning which
it should apparently not be giving you, and detail the situation in
bugs to the appropriate packages.
You can include a lintian override (I don't know about linda) by
including a file in the package called /usr/share/lintian/overrides/
in the format of the lintian (linda?) warnings .. and also in the
format of the files from other packages which you probably already
have in that location. You probably want to keep the override in
./debian/ somewhere, and use ./debian/urlgfe.install + dh_install in
./debian/rules to install it to that location (though /usr/bin/cp and
/usr/bin/install are also fine).
