There is an additional difficulty with this which I have just throght
of. The natural consequence of the above would be that lintian would
be run in the dgit invocation environment, not in the builder's
chroot. This matters because in the usual case, the latter will be
unstable's lintian, whereas the invocation environment might well be
testing or even stable. I'm not sure whether this matters very much.
