Package: lintian Version: 2.116.3 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: raph...@freexian.com
I just discovered the existence of masked tags and of the "Screen" mechanism to exclude some tags. I also notice that they are displayed together with overriden tags when you use --show-overrides. Yet they are very different. I believe that a tag that lintian decided to suppress should simply never be emitted, not even as a masked tag. Thus I would suggest to stop emitting masked tags. But if you disagree with this, it might make sense to offer the possibility to handle masked tags separately from overriden tags.
