Which is currently unused.

$ lintian -I libgd3_2.1.0-2_i386.deb
I: libgd3: unused-override embedded-library
 usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgd.so.3.0.0: libgd2

So it checks the source package.
  Though you may want to keep the override for now if you change the
source name.  At least until a version of Lintian that accepts libgd
as the providor of libgd is installed on ftp-master.d.o.

Admittedly without confirming it, I suspect that override was also unused.

It lists the "name" we choose to give it in a data file.  That name is
generally the name of the source package (because it caused less
typing for us).
