This is a two-fold bug in lintian which I have reported already: (a) Lintian does not yet know about 2.5.0.0; it was written in the 2.4.X.Y days. (b) The warning that your control file refers to a newer standards version is only a warning, so should be introduced by W: and not E:. So don't worry about it.
