Can you run the check in the verbose mode to see which specific
functions remain unprotected?

Also, this is not the right forum for such bug reports, because none of
the lintian developers are following this list.

You might wish to have a look at the following bug report by Ben where
he's having a similar problem with vlc plugins:

I wonder if yours are false positives also due to memset and friends...
