These don't look appropriate to override in this case. They are valid
warnings about an issue with the zh-autoconvert package that haven't
been fixed yet. The correct solution here is to either write manual
pages or ignore the lintian warnings.

Check how it is done in other packages:

grep binary-without-manpage /usr/share/lintian/overrides/*
