    lintian(1): Mention some 2.5.10 changes and update BUGS section
    
    Under --debug, mention that running times will be measured when using
    -d twice (or more) and under "CHECKING LAST BUILD" that
    <source>_<version>_all.changes will also be tried.
    
    Finally mention that two Lintian processes can be run in parallel as
    long as they are not using the same Lab.
