This sounds the most sensible way forward, ie. fixing most of the false- positives, rather than just making Lintian very slightly less noisy. (As an aside, I'm always curious when people put a lot of weight behind the Certainty that Lintian reports; the various levels have no "real" meaning and accordingly get very little attention from the Lintian maintainers.)
