Summary
=======

Passes the build twice test with no issue now.

Did a little looking and link below indicates 'lrelease' is now deprecated.

N:   Your package specifies the named override but there were no tags that
N:   could have been silenced by it.
N:   
N:   Maybe you fixed an underlying condition but forgot to remove the override.
N:   It is also possible that the Lintian maintainers fixed a false positive.
N:   
N:   If the override is now unused, please remove it.
N:   
N:   This tag is similar to mismatched-override except there a tag could have
N:   been silenced if the context had matched.
N:   
N:   Sometimes, overrides end up not being used because a tag appears only on
N:   some architectures. In that case, overrides can be equipped with an
N:   architecture qualifier.

N:   Please refer to Architecture specific overrides (Section 2.4.3) in the

Looks good, if you wish to file an RFS we can move the package forward.

  2. Version 3.0.4 fixes the issue, by adding the generated .qm files to debian/source/include-binaries. The .qm files have long lines, which makes a Lintian override necessary.

The .qm files are created from the .ts files by Qt's lrelease command. Since these files are built from the sources in the .ts files, this is probably the way to handle them? Unfortunately, the .qm format seems to contain a time stamp, which makes the .qm files differ when they are build again.
