I'm not quite following your chain of logic wrt to Lintian and Debian
Policy. I mean, there are countless checks in Lintian that have no
basis in Policy? :)

(100% agree that there is no requirement whatsoever to use debhelper
or CDBS and I have a great deal of sympatahy with you position on
this tag. Indeed, I can quite possibly see myself removing this tag
at a later date.)
