Lintian should warn(not error) about those files being deleted.  It be nice if
those warns were part of the lintian output, so they were more visible.

It's impossible for lintian or any other package checker to check this
precisely because those files *aren't* being deleted by the .diff.gz.  The
warning is about the inability of the diff to delete files and by the time
lintian arrives on the scene, there's no trace left in the package it was
even attempted.

I don't see any point in leaving this one open and tagged wontfix, so I'm
going to go ahead and close it.
