Hi Mattia,

No. This change attempts to make no comment on whether dpkg-buildpackage
should be mandatory or optional. As you imply from the question, Lintian
would not be the place to push that. :)

It intends that developers use the cleaner and more-standard:

>    include /u/s/d/pkg-info.mk

.. instead of some self-rolled parsing of dpkg-parsechangelog or
similar.
