See dh_lintian(1) for further information. [0] shows such an override file in one of my packages (note, that the override is for the source and not the binary package). > Oh, by the way: I'm still looking for a sponsor for the package. :) Well, your package should be Lintian clean (that can include overrides) first. Afterwards you can send a RFS to debian-mentors. Though I'm not sure many will jump into uploading a package, that downloads a library...
