Dear Lintian Maintainers

Please add a warning that the autopkgtest restriction
'skip-not-installable' is now deprecated.  The README [1] of
autopkgtest contains the following text:

skip-not-installable (deprecated):
This restriction may cause a test to miss a regression due to
installability issues. If one wants to skip certain architectures, use
the Architecture field for that.

I think checking in debian/test/control for
   Restrictions:.*skip-not-installable
might be all that's needed.

Regards
Graham
