Hi,

I realised that lintian (at least) starting with version 2.115.1 (may be earlier) wraps file names into [] which breaks existing
lintian-overrides. Random example:

https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/biomaj3-user/-/blob/master/debian/lintian-overrides

now becomes invalid by lintian claiming

W: python3-biomaj3-user: mismatched-override script-with-language-extension usr/bin/biomaj-users.py [usr/share/lintian/overrides/python3-biomaj3-user:2]
W: python3-biomaj3-user: script-with-language-extension [usr/bin/biomaj-users.py]

I consider these [] not helpful since it breaks lots of
lintian-overrides with no visible advantage. Could this change in
lintian please be reverted?

Thanks a lot for maintaining lintian in any case

Andreas.

Or perhaps make the new format default (I quite like it better from a
visual perspective), and issue a deprecation warning for the old format
(e.g., when -I is specified).

Then perhaps after the next stable release drop the old format.

Thanks a lot for maintaining lintian in any case
