Hi,

I just committed some changes for lintian that should fix this issue.
Unfortunately it might be a while till I have time to test it on a
multi.changes.
  If you have the time, it would be great if you could fetch lintian
from git and run it[1] on your multi.changes to see if it is fixed.

Thank you in advance,
~Niels
