I have written a proprietary application that needs to install some .pyo files. When I create a .deb from the app, lintian complains that package-installs-python-bytecode. I tried adding an override, but apparently this tag is marked as non-overridable by ftp-master-auto-reject.profile in /usr/share/lintian/profiles/debian. Since this tag is considered an Error, Ubuntu Software Center complains about the package.
Is there a clean way to override this tag so that Ubuntu Software Center no longer complains?
I would change the deb generation steps to either (or both) -
tar up the python file(s), base64 or otherwise encode the tar file into the postinst script, extract and install from there and you're done!
