DEBUILD_LINTIAN=yes

which works great, but when I change that to
DEBUILD_LINTIAN_OPTS='-I --pedantic --color=always -E'
(or any other variant involving the -E option), I get no output from
lintian at all. Running lintian from the command line with these
options works fine.
Ugh. I thought we'd fixed this last time someone mentioned it informally,
but it looks like we just found a workaround for them and never fixed it
properly. :-/
For reference, the problem is due to the fact that the configuration file
parsing uses a small shell script snippet involving echo to split
DEBUILD_LINTIAN_OPTS in to component parts, and -E is a valid argument to
echo. The workaround is to use --display-experimental instead, but I'll get
this fixed properly for the next upload.
