Package: lintian Version: 2.5.104 Severity: normal Sometimes an override becomes unnecessary, either because the package changed to not need it or lintian changed to become more discerning and no longer flags the package. Either way, at that point the override becomes unnecessary. Lintian should show the unnecessary override to call attention to it, so that the maintainer can remove it.
