I'm opposed to adding overrides to my packages for cases where, in my view, lintian should somehow have enough information to see the case as a false positive. I use them only when a lintian check seems useful in the general case but I cannot think of a reasonable way for the check to be fixed to ignore my situation. I suppose others feel that being lintian-clean is so important that it's worth muddying the waters by overriding all false positives, not only the exceptional situations but the lintian bugs. If most people feel that way, I guess it would be reasonable to add lintian to the set of dak sanity checks. But I don't believe I'm the only one who disagrees.
