debconf, output in installation scripts, and lintian



Several times I've been bitten trying to fix packages with mysterious
errors, only (some hours later) to come to the head-slapping
realization that, say, a postinst script does an

  echo "Frizzing juggernauts..."

while a debconf frontend is active.  Is it possible to have lintian
check for this and report an error?  (Or, does it already do this, but
I just missed it in the debconf.desc?)
