Using pbuilder did work for me. I have no idea how to work around this anyway.

All I get is this:

$ lintian -I nvidia-cg-toolkit_3.1.0013-1_amd64.changes
I: libcggl: unused-override dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink
I: libcg: unused-override dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink
N: 11 tags overridden (2 warnings, 9 info)

I do not mind leaving those extra lintian overrides, but anyone knows
why there were here in the first place ?

ok, I did not know that.
