Jakub realized the source of a lot of our errors on lintian.d.o are caused by limitations in the file-system. We should probably use a pool or something similar to reduce the amount of elements in each dirs.

Just to shed more light on what the problem is:

$ stat /srv/lintian.debian.org/laboratory/binary/ | grep Links
Device: 807h/2055d      Inode: 7512069     Links: 32000

On ext3 filesysytem, at least in squeeze, 32K is hard limit on number of hard links, so we can't create more directories in binary/.

ext4 doesn't have this limitation, so a work-around would be to convert the filesystem.
