chore(linux): Fix lintian warnings

Also improve upload script to force push changelog branches.
Lintian v2.115 (which is run on Debian servers) still produces
pedantic warnings, but there seems to be a bug - no matter what
pattern I add to `lintian-overrides`, I can't get it to ignore
the files. The following version v2.116 has these rules built in,
so we don't need `lintian-overrides` anymore.
