    Use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard in the override, replacing the
    details of the lintian hit that you don't really care about (such as
    the line number, or the number of bytes on that particular line).

    Hi all,

    I'm just building Lintian overrides and I'm struggling with a test. Here
    is the output of two lintian runs with unchanged source package, limited
    to the interesting lines.

    An override has been added, but the line, which is found to be to long
    seems to move, hence lintian complains or does not complain.

    What do I do?

    Works, many thanks!

    Would it make sense to open an issue at lintian?
