Yeah Renaud mentioned about this also in one of the package I maintain
(falconpl) we had this same warning but we thought it might be due to
bug in CMake.

So do you suggest me to add an override for this? Also 2 more lintian
warnings on call to ldconfig I was never able to resolve it. Do you
know any reason why it is coming

With Regards
