That's a good plan, I'll do that.

As mentioned on IRC, it might make sense to fail the build
outright if lintian fails.  While probably not appropriate
for buildds (it would depend upon the lintian version on
the host, which could be too old or too new and hence result
in false positives) it would be useful for developers
building packages for upload.  OTOH, maybe just highlighting
in red would be sufficient for most cases.
