I really don't care whether one has to run either lintian or linda
or both. That's an implementation detail. If it's automised by a
script, no maintainer ever has to care about it.

The idea of running lintian/linda and piuparts on side of the
developer machine is giving a reasonable confidence, that a
package is good enough for source-only upload. The log could
be automatically signed with the .dsc. No burden to the DD.

AFAIK, you can run lintian/linda on binary packages. I was
proposing source-only uploads.
