Thanks for explaining the problem, Jochen.

We build the packages against unstable, so it's unhelpful to have 
different lintian errors.  It means we are unable to use lintian to test 
if there are any problems with the packaging. Then uploading becomes 
trial and error, which is not efficient.

Can I propose the lintian version from bookworm be built on ftp-master 
to enable a consistent build environment

Can a manual override be applied to enable paraview uploads until the 
version of lintian on ftp-master gets fixed?
