They are legitimate issues, and they aren't "FTP > Master Rejects" issues (lintian --ftp-master-rejects),
"binary-from-other-architecture" is irrelevant for test data, so the override is correct. (How else would one test an ELF parser?) I'd add a comment explaining the override, though. "source-is-missing" is wrong for src/debug/elf/testdata/go-relocation-test* because all have been generated from hello.c, using different toolchains. src/runtime/race/README explains hso race_*.syso have been generated, so perhaps the corresponding sources ought to be added as a patch.
