Lintian overrides are not supposed to be used this way. You should only
override a Lintian message when the message is incorrect, but is not a
bug in Lintian (i.e. your package is a special case of some kind which
isn't worth encoding in Lintian). Overriding correct messages this way
makes it harder to scan packages for problems. Please remove these
overrides and just put up with the warnings until you've written man
pages.
** Affects: prevu (Ubuntu)
