INADD, but:

We do have part of the upload on m.d.n, I have a hunch it'd be fairly
simple to actually run Lintian on it, and report the status of the
package.

The trouble is that the uploads may or may not have the binary
package, so it would have to be a bit "smart" about what it's actually
checking.

I'm a big +1 on this, I hate seeing "lintian clean" packages report a
litany of issues :)
