First, remember that every sposor is different, basically every DD do
whatever they think it's better.
For me, it's not that strict, but when I go through the RFS list, and I
see a package with more than a handful of lintian warnings, I indeed
usually say "meh, somebody's else job" and go on the next one. :)
But it's not a binary thing, some warning are fine by me, or i can see
are too hard to fix, etc...
