I, for one, consider abusing Lintian checks for "recommendations" a very bad idea. Especially if you use _warnings_ for that. To warn about what? Something that just works without needing any change? Very funny. If you really want to _recommend_ something then please add a few lines to dpkg-dev or debhelper tools output. And they should only appear when changing the format might be beneficial, i.e. when the .../format file is missing but debian/patches is present. Or if the debian/watch file refers to .bz2. Such usecase based advertising would be much more effective and more nice to live with.
