Actually, it's just that dpkg-buildpackage checks the exit status of the
check command (lintian in this case) where as debuild didn't used to do
that.

Lintian has an exit status of 1 because there were errors.  I actually
think this is an improvement over what debuild did, since errors in the
check command shouldn't be ignored.
