This just confused a sponsee of mine. The blanket statement that

Maybe higher than pedantic? Any such file needs to be checked by the
uploader to confirm the source is in the source package, so a Lintian
warning which can be overridden when this check has been done would help

Debian release, so a Standards-Version older than the previous
Debian release is indicative of work (if only review work) that
needs doing.
and for most packages I *don't* want to review it more often than that.
So the tag is extremely useful to prompting me to look at something t
in itself a bug.
Thus, the fact that there are a large number of incidences of
out-of-date-standards-version does not allow us to infer that anything
is wrong with the contents of the archive.

Would you agree with this? You're only asking to stop seeing warnings

Thus the only Policy issue here could be the addition of an explicit
permission to use Debian revisions with 1.0 native packages. As
discussion is ongoing in the context of Lintian, that seems premature,
however.
So I think we can close the clone of this bug against Policy for now.
