Um, no; on the contrary, Lintian being wrong is the only legitimate 
reason to add an override.

Here's how one should deal with Lintian tags:

if my package is buggy:
	if I'm being lazy:
		leave the tag un-overridden,
		(so that it serves as a reminder
		for the future less-lazy me)
	else:
		fix the package
else:
	add override
	if Lintian could be fixed easily:
		file a bug against Lintian
		while Lintian is still buggy:
			wait patiently
		remove override
