Re: laggy lintian

What about making smaller, "tighter", cycles - instead of downloading
entire archive (which more-or-less becomes outdated just about when
you are finished downloading it), download just a package or two (or
three... you get the idea), run lintian on them, then continue to
download the next package (or even better - download the next package
in parallel to running the tests on the "current" package)? That way
the versions you check should be a little closer to the latest ones.
Thanks for taking the time to run lintian on all those packages, I
feel you are doing a very important work. Wish I could provide you
with a better machine but I'm in Israel (i.e. the link from Germany
goes through the states, at least until we connect through a new
uplink provider via London) and I don't have such amounts of disk
available.
