Why? the package creator should run lintian, etc. himself before uploading, so this is double check. SBD should run every 12pm MSK for example and package creator can remove packages before SBD runs if he found the bug. > > > he makes final checks, that couldn't be found with lintian.

Yes. If I'm responsible for this packages (and if I'm sponsoring future developer, I'm responsible for his packages) -- the answer is yes.
