Your copy of lintian is probably too old.

You should always aim to minimize your changes to any given package
when preparing a backport; that applies to lintian errors/warnings as
well. Fix any issues raised by lintian in sid instead of in your
backported package (the latter will be fixed once the version in sid
migrates to testing and is then backported anyways).
