--- Begin Message ---Package: debhelper Version: 7.0.17 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/dh_lintian Hi, it would be nice if dh_lintian could support arch specific overrides, e.g. change search order to debian/package.lintian-overrides.$ARCH debian/package.lintian-overrides This can be helpful for repackaging binary-only non-free programs and libraries that have different unfixable problems on different platforms. Looking at another suggestion, merging all the overrides into one file (#478989), this could be implemented by prefixing the lines with e.g. [i386] or [!amd64] and applying appropriate filtering.

If files named debian/package.foo.arch exist, where "arch" is the same as the output of "dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH", then they will be used in preference to other, more general files. This will work for lintian files, along with pretty much any other debhelper file. -- see shy jo
