Version: 3.5.2-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

Hi,

The debian/rules file appears to include a suspiciously high number of
dh_override_-style overrides.

It is likely that is this was intended to optimise package builds by
introducing "no-op" overrides that avoid specific debhelper commands.

However, whilst using overrides are not a problem per-se, such a list
is usually a premature optimisation, subject to constant revision,
prevents future debhelper versions fixing archive-wide problems, adds
unnecessary noise/distraction for anyone reviewing the package,
increases the package's "bus factor" and is typically a premature
optimisation. It is, in addition, aesthetically displeasing.

Please remove the unnecessary overrides. A patch is attached.


Regards,
