+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<dh_lintian> [S<I<debhelper options>>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+dh_lintian is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
+override files used by lintian into package build directories.
+
+If a file named debian/package.lintian-overrides exists, then it is
+installed into usr/share/lintian/overrides/package in the package
+build directory. This file is used to suppress erroneous lintian
+diagnostics.
+
+Note that a file named debian/source.lintian-overrides will not be
+installed, but will be scanned by lintian to provide overrides for the
+source package.
