http://qa.debian.org/man-pages.html is generated based on the regular
lintian reports at http://lintian.debian.org/. This is a lintian false
positive, and probably one that can't be worked around in lintian.
However, if the maintainer of mutt-utf8 would add a lintian override for
that error, it would disappear from the QA web pages automatically. I've
cc'ed Marco to see what he thinks.
