Ok ... thx for your answers to this! Beside building and testing my packages in a proper way (pbuilder and clean installations in vmware - because of my packgage beeing a graphical one, I decided to use a graphical system for testing, not chroot) I just mis-used lintian ;( So my question came up cause of this unproper usage, was my fault and is therfore answered.
