One of the services running on gluck is lintian.debian.org, which until now
has been available for all developers to use in doing archive-wide scans.
Is this service no longer going to be available to developers at large?

What's the reason for this authentication policy, which differs from (AFAIK)
all developer-public debian.org hosts to date? Is this a sign of a broader
policy change coming down the line?
I generally avoid using password authentication to Debian hosts, *except* in
the particular case of scp'ing files from one Debian host to another because
I don't have a key that I'm willing to do authentication forwarding on to
Debian hosts, nor do I particularly want to use up my home bandwidth copying
files up and down to move them between two remote hosts. I would appreciate
not having this use case impaired by policy changes of unclear origin.
Thanks,
