Hi,

I missed that one email, just saw it when reviewing the bug.

Please don't do that! If "the DKMS doesn't actually use any of those
files", then don't put them in the DKMS sources... More generally, I
think it's not a good idea to just copy absolutely everything in the
DKMS source folder, you should really be picking-up only what you need.
There's no need to fill-up the hard drive of your users with useless files.

More over, I don' think that hiding problems with a lintian override is
the way to go.

BTW, it'd be really great if you could upload the fixed version of ovs.
FYI, It's blocking the migration of xen-api in Testing... :)

Cheers, and thanks for maintaining OVS which is great,

Thomas
