As I understood criticism of this tag in threads you linked, there are exceptional cases, when root-required/no-root-required and sysadmin/regular-user are not same thing. The very cases of Lintian override. Unless it is false-positive, it constitutes violation of FHS, so it warrants "warning" severity. -- Note, that I send and fetch email in batch, once in a few days. Please, mention in body of your reply when you add or remove recepients.
