Package: lintian
Version: 2.117.0
Severity: normal
Hello. Here're two patches to document the previously undocumented
--debug option and to more clearly note what to do with changes and
dbgsym overrides.
Also, I tried to push into a branch on salsa to create an MR instead,
but I didn't have the rights to do that. Maybe at least all DDs should
be allowed to push to their own branches?
Thanks!

For binary packages, Lintian looks for overrides in a file named
-I<usr/share/lintian/overrides/E<lt>packageE<gt>> inside the binary
-package, where I<E<lt>packageE<gt>> is the name of the binary
-package. For source packages, Lintian looks for overrides in

+
+For source packages, Lintian looks for overrides in
I<debian/source/lintian-overrides> and then in
I<debian/source.lintian-overrides> if the first file is not found.
The first path is preferred. See the Lintian User's Manual for the
syntax of overrides.
