There are also benefits from using an override: - It shows that the message has been received by the maintainer, not just skipped, missed or ignored. - It gives an opportunity to write down why he decided to not take further action. Overrides are a central place in which Lintian maintainers and other developers doing distribution-wide developments and quality controls can try to unerstand why a tag tends to be ignored by a large number of package maintainers. For example, I am very tempted to start to override hyphen-used-as-minus-sign tags with a justification such as “Never going to work; will not spend my time on this; others may do as they wish”.
