warzone2100 source: lintian output: 'license-problem-json-evil 3rdparty/ discord-rpc/thirdparty/rapidjson/license.txt', automatically rejected package. warzone2100 source: If you have a good reason, you may override this lintian tag.

I'm getting new uploads of warzone2100 rejected and it sends me email with the above content.

$ cat debian/source/lintian-overrides
# We aren't building with Discord support and therefore everything under
# 3rdparty/discord-rpc is not relevant. If in future we add Discord support
we
# should Build-Depend on rapidjson-dev.
warzone2100 source: license-problem-json-evil [3rdparty/discord-rpc/ thirdparty/rapidjson/license.txt]

I have the above Lintian override filem, which works acording to the following output of running Lintian locally but apparently the version of lintian used for checking uploads is older and has a different format. How would I configure my package to override this? The code in question is not compiled
as part of building that package and I'm planning to put in a patch to include #error in every source file.

You should not override the warning, but not include non-free files in
uploads to Debian. That probably means removing non-free files here.

Are you talking about a patch in quilt to remove all contents or a rebuild of the upstream source archive without the files in question?

A patch will *not* remove the file from the upload. You need to repack the upstream source.
(this is a really surprising question)

[...]

You are using brackets around the filename here, as expected by current lintian, but note that the error message does not include brackets.

It seems like you should not override this particular error, but in
general you can either:

- Use 2 overrides for the 2 different error formats (and ignore the
unused-override warnings).

- Use a single override with each bracket replaced with '*' (wildcard).
(This is also useful for covering usr-move differences in packages
that get backported.)
