This turned out to be an apt issue. "no" is acutally a valid value, but yet unused as it's the default. And since dpkg-deb seems to bail out on any non-valid value, there's no need for an lintian error level warning. A pedantic level warning about explicitly setting a default value may be still helpful. See Jakub's comment in #759099.
