The release took place solely to facilitate upgrading lintian.d.o, which has been down for months. Details are in #949398; your bug is mentioned there. I have been working with the dpkg maintainers on a solution, which will not happen anytime soon. The underlying problem is that dpkg-buildpackage issues a build error when there is simply nothing to do. Fixing that is complicated because source packages nowadays permit the building of undeclared artifacts. There is no longer a way to tell from a source package if a build should be attempted. Either way, I will triage your bug later today. Thank you for your patience and for your help in trying to make Lintian better for everyone. Kind regards Felix
