Thanks - sorry, yeah I mean upstream tarball.
My packaging you can find on salsa: (just pushed)

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/scite/

See the salsa link above.

If I use an override like this:

> scite source: source-is-missing scintilla/bin/lexilla.so

I get two Lintian errors:

E: scite source: source-is-missing scintilla/bin/lexilla.so
E: scite: malformed-override Override of source-is-missing for package
type source (expecting binary) at line 6

- but if I instead use it without the "source" field like this: 

> scite: source-is-missing scintilla/bin/lexilla.so

I also get two lintian items (different ones, of course):

E: scite source: source-is-missing scintilla/bin/lexilla.so
I: scite: unused-override source-is-missing scintilla/bin/lexilla.so

Is it as simple as the only way to solve this is repackaging upstream
removing the unused .so? As I said earlier, the source for lexilla.so
_is_ there in the upstream source.

best, and thanks for all the help
