The release took place solely to facilitate upgrading lintian.d.o,
which has been down for months. Details are in #949398; your bug is
mentioned there.
I have been working with the dpkg maintainers on a solution, which
will not happen anytime soon. The underlying problem is that
dpkg-buildpackage issues a build error when there is simply nothing to
do.
Fixing that is complicated because source packages nowadays permit the
building of undeclared artifacts. There is no longer a way to tell
from a source package if a build should be attempted. Either way, I
will triage your bug later today.
Thank you for your patience and for your help in trying to make
Lintian better for everyone.
Kind regards
Felix
