Done, as well as some general cleanup. Nothing about patches is
overridden, things became so much easier after updating sid thus getting
rid of what might have been multiple lintian bugs.Still overriding
warnings about get-orig-source and doc files used in runtime.
Personally, I find the comments used in the override files a nice way to
document things which looks peculiar in the package.
In the end it's a choice, I guess.

I'm using cowbuilder. But then again, it must also be updated. I'm
probably damaged by my Fedora roots, where corresponding tools just
sort of works. Need to learn.
Uploading a new version. Timestamp at mentors: 2020-09-14 07:53
