Not enough for me. I want piuparts checks and build check, not matter
whether I have autopkgtest.

And after that extra-extra-pedantic, and so on. What about list of
"controversal" checks, that are hidden by default, and are enabled
one-by-one with something like
lintian --enable-controversal-check missing-gitlab-ci
( We all know how to write shell aliases. )
I suggest makeing it impossible to turn of all controversal by single
flag (or it will become extra-pedantic), and refer in documentation to
/usr/share/lintian/checks/controversal.desc
