I could add some overrides, but it doesn't really make sense to do so.
I'd prefer it if lintian instead just wouldn't flag non-text source
files with this tag.
We could argue about whether upstream *should* be including non-text
files in source, of course, but there are some not-implausible reasons:
- some of these files are test vectors (OpenPGP certificates in binary
form, DER-formatted X.509 certificates, kbx files)
- some of them are graphics files (gnupg-logo-*.bmp)
- some of them are GNU message catalogs -- compiled output of .po files
that upstream prefers to ship in the tarball for folks building the
package without l10n toolchains. we rebuild them in debian, but i'd
still rather ship the upstream tarball if possible.
And i'd rather not try to convince upstream that they should ship a
different tarball.
If there's some way that i need to flag these files as non-text for
lintian's sake, i'm willing to do that, but i don't know how to do it.
