Lintian claims:
W: goobox source: superfluous-file-pattern po/uk.po [debian/copyright:461]

However:
file po/uk.po
po/uk.po: GNU gettext message catalogue, Unicode text, UTF-8 text

grep uk.po debian/copyright
Files: po/uk.po

If lots of other po files which are accepted, why is po/uk.po any
different?

I went over this multiple times, but I cannot find the reason.

This is in an uptodate sid chroot.

I think Lintian is confused because this file was added by a patch.
It doesn't exist in .orig.tar.

Hello Jakub,

Thanks. This could explain it, currently it is the only file added via
a patch.

Maybe you can add a sentence stating that this message can have some
false positives? (I saw this in other lintian warnings).

Greetings
