I think that you missed a point with lintian overrides. There are two kinds of lintian overrides: - source - binary Source lintian overrides are not installed with the package, they are just used to remove some lintian warnings against the source package. Its name should be debian/source.lintian-overrides Binary lintian overrides are installed in /usr/share/lintian/overrides/<package>, as you did in your debian/rules. And they override lintian warnings against the binary packages. For example, if we remove your lintian overrides and run lintian with -vIi against _arch.changes, we get the following output: N: Setting up lab in /tmp/user/500/vAiMCbDlJb ... N: Processing changes file xeji_1.2-14_amd64.changes ... N: Processing 2 packages... N: ---- N: Processing source package xeji (version 1.2-14) ... I: xeji source: debian-watch-file-is-missing [...] N: ---- N: Processing binary package xeji (version 1.2-14) ... E: xeji: copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl [...] W: xeji: menu-command-not-in-package /usr/share/menu/xeji:11 /usr/bin/killall [...] N: Removing /tmp/user/500/vAiMCbDlJb ... "xeji source: debian-watch-file-is-missing" should go in source.lintian-overrides "xeji: copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl" should go in xeji.lintian-overrides "xeji: menu-command-not-in-package /usr/share/menu/xeji" should go in xeji.lintian-overrides If you depend on debhelper (>= 6.0.7) (don't forget to change debian/compat with "6"), you can just use dh_lintian in debian/rules to install lintian files. This will remove your last lintian warning. If my explanations aren't clear enough, you can read the manual page of dh_lintian that may explain better (and in a more concise way) all this. -- I WILL ONLY DO THIS ONCE A YEAR I WILL ONLY DO THIS ONCE A YEAR I WILL ONLY DO THIS ONCE A YEAR -+- Bart Simpson on chalkboard in episode 3F31
