I have a branch that separates scanning from diagnostics. It solves
this dilemma. Please look out for a 'lab scan' facility in the near
future. The terminology corresponds to the interaction between a
doctor and a blood lab. Lintian checks function like a doctor that
issues a diagnosis based on lab results.

The low-level scan results will become much more abundant and provide
all kinds of data to consumers like Lintian Brush. They will replace
classification tags.

Kind regards

Felix Lechner
